Anonybabe really likes reading the Dr. Suess A-B-C book. And until this weekend, she really liked demanding that we sing the alphabet song to her when we opened it to a multi-color spread of the 'bet. Woe upon us if we sang the wrong version...there's the traditional "Twinkle twinkle" one and then another from a PBS show sung by Alpha Pig. "Aeee? Beee? Seee? Aaaah Piiiiiih?" means you better step proper to the mike, yo, lest you be "NO?!"ed off the stage.
In the last couple of days she ventured to sing her own toddler version, where she skips around to all the meaty parts and then ends with "ting wi meeee".
She'll also sing a fill in the blank version of Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman. To wit:
Anonymom: Rudolph the.......(healthy pause)
Anonybabe: (bobbing and swaying)...wed....waindeeee
Anonymom: Had a very........(healthier pause)
Anonybabe: Shy.....Noh!
Anonymom: And if you ever......
Anonybabe: (making a run for the dollhouse) Mama...pay...dah house....tooooooo?
It's fun to pull it out at parties...makes the roughly five thousand times in a row she asked that we sing it seem almost worth it. I'm worried it's going to lose its appeal before we get to pull it out in front of her biggest patrons, aka the grandparents.
