Aren’t kids honest? One time I was giving my kiddo a bath and he says “mom you have a big butt.” when he realized he had insulted me he said this disclaimer; “Your butt isn’t as big as some of the other moms though.” Isn’t that good to know?

This made me remember our nappy-changing song, now fallen into disuse now the youngest is three.
To the tune of Frere Jacques:

Pooey nappies, pooey nappies,
What a smell, what a smell,
Now I’m going to change it
Now I’m going to change it
That’s better, that’s better.

No singing ability required as long as it’s not aired in public!

I am glad he gave you a good kiss to make his honesty easier to take. LOL

I have to admit, I remember doing something similiar to my own Mom. I love her dearly but she couldn’t stay on key if you nailed her there. I still remember how much my childhood dog loved to howl along. Made me feel better that she had at least ONE musical fan

Sing your heart out. Laylee frequently asks me to “please go upstairs and put on some makeup.” Ha. Not gonna happen on a Friday morning when I’m still in my bathroom and haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Besides, I know I’m fabulous without it.

I’m thinking if he can reverse the slam and the kissing order, he has a great future as a politician.

This was so cute. I’m not a virtuoso (sp?) but I am a step up from my hubby in the singing dept. And like you, I have been known to make up lots of little ditties. Some are actually applauded my girls. My oldest has always been more approving of my songs, though. Many a time, my youngest, as a toddler, told me to please stop singing.
Nothing quite like that feeling, is there?

Thanks for making me giggle, as usual.

Too adorable! I sing as much as I can to my daughter while she still can’t talk. But, its already getting bad, she learned how to shake her head “no”. My days are numbered, so I know how you feel. You’re son is too sweet, those kisses are worth a thousand wipes!

Only two and already a typical male! You can wait on me, but on my terms! lol Better tell Sean that you are going to sing and sing loudly when you are changing poopy diapers (if you are singing, you are breathing through your mouth) but, if he goes poopy on the potty — you will stop singing. The kiss on the forehead is the touch of a master!
