Our Songs

Every kid in the house, even the cats, have their own "song." I am not sure what made each one the official song of that child, but they know their songs, they ask for their songs, and bless their little hearts, they even ask me to sing their songs. Over and over again.

Big Sister decided this was her song one day.  She calls it "When I was a little girl, you loved me". If we hear this song in the car, it is not unusual for either of us to interrupt whatever anyone is saying to yell: HEEEEEEYYYY Mommy! Do I love you???

My oh my.

GG's song was hard to come by. She's a bit picky and requested that I give her some choices for her love song.  This is the one she finally ended up with. She calls it "The apple in my eye song." The rest of us call it "GG's Home Song". She likes this video in particular because there's a little girl in it.

Tiny has a couple.  Actually, several made up ones regarding having a dirty diaper, though I have spared YouTube from my renditions of those songs.  Most often though, his love song is this one.  Everyone calls it something different, but mostly Tiny's Love Song, from a lullaby CD the girls listen to at night.

Little Sister's love song remains to this day the Pete's Dragon Song she used to sing when she was about 1 1/2. She sings it less now but makes me sing it every day.  I am not a very good sounding dragon.  She also has her "bouncing song" that we all love.  It's title came from Big Sister, who loved to watch Little dance as a 15 month old. All she did was bounce her diaper up and down.  She still does it on demand. (As an aside, the videos of this song seem really creepy to me.  The kids have never seen them, but here's the one with just the lyrics shown).

Her last song is the refrain from this one.  For those of you who know her real name, it's clear where it came from.  For those of you who know her personality, even clearer!
