Dad-From-Home Songs

Heather totally wins at blogging.

I'm really verbose when it comes to the decline of the music industry, or why I love traveling, or any number of controversial topics, but when it comes to pictures of videos from around the house, I am not (even close to) the best blogger in this house. Kudos, love.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a little from life at the 604....

I remember hearing somewhere that Aunt Bonnie was certain that Lincoln's arrival would be inspiration for a new song. Well, she had no idea just how prolific I was going to be...

For a couple of reasons (Lincoln responds pretty well to music / I don't know what to say to non-English-speaking babies) I end up making up LOADS of new songs every day. Examples from today include such hits as:

"Let's go heat that hot hot water, hot water, hot water, let's heat hot water" (redundant, and factually incorrect - if the water were hot, it would not need heating.)

"Lincoln made a poop, yes a poop, that's a poop" (redundant, but factually correct. that was, in fact, a poop.)

"please don't yell, it makes me kick our innocent dog" (factually incorrect, but just so darn catchy.)

my freestyle lullaby skills are improving, too. Did you know sleep rhymes with

cheap - "it's not like your diapers are..."
weep - "please don't make me..."
jeep - "i'll buy you a..."
keep - "that last promise, I totally can't..."

hm. according to rhymezone.com, it also rhymes with go deep, junk heap, and vegetable sheep.

WHAT THE HECK IS A VEGETABLE SHEEP?

looks like bedtime just took a turn for the surreal.

oh my gosh! i totally sing everything - most of it's to the tune of row row row your boat. samples from jen and julia's greatest hits include "keep your bottom on the floor", "washy washy your hands" and "dance, too much poopy in your pants"... ah, life at home with baby : )

Levi - you should blog about parenting more often. :) Good stuff.
