All the Songs He Knows


Desmond seems to have a propensity for music and singing. And why not, his Dada is an accomplished musician. The following are all of the songs he knows. Even though he doesn't know all the words to all of these songs, he definitely knows their tune and will definitely sing it in the right tune, using his language. He will sing these songs sometimes when he is put down for a nap, or if he hears it in the car, or if he hears us singing it around the house.

Wheels on the bus go
This old Man
Ring around the rosies
Old McDonald had a farm
Row row your boat
Where is Thumbkin?
BINGO

Mama thinks his favorite is "The Wheels on the Bus" and he will do some of the motions for this song [i.e., "the babies on the bus go wha wha wha" (he will rub his eyes with his fist and say "wha wha wha"; the mommies on the bus go hush hush hush (he will put his index finger to his mouth and say "shhh, shhh, shhh"].

He also loves to sing "This Old Man" because that is the song we sing to him anytime we put him down to sleep...so he's heard that song everyday of his life thus far =;)

P.S. How do you like them cheeks in the above picture?!?!
