Nights have become a bit of a creative time (and I'm not talking about the technicolor hues we find in Xander's diapers). Maybe it's a bit of a heritage thing, maybe genetic, I don't know. All I know is that people in my family sing to infants, and so do I. So, the challenge is to keep Xander interested in the songs, and figure out the perfect repertoire for beddy-bye. Xander's Saba brought a few oldies, but goodies, and a few oldies, but relatively inconnu, as far as I was concerned. Here are a few lines of the song that was stuck in my head for the past several days:
Mairzy doats, an dozy doats, an liddle lamzy divey,
Akidilly divey two, wooden shoe? [sic, ad nauseum]
Thanks, Saba. (And for those of you without a passion for amphibology, please don't trouble yourselves with deciphering the preceding mondegreen...Wikipedia can help you...) Now all I need is to find a sound clip of the song so I can have it on loop in the background in some bad midi format whenever someone loads the page, so that other people can suffer as I do. I should say, as WE do, since I sing it often enough to make Xander and Mommy want to cry.
Mommy's not sleeping...she just wants Daddy to stop taking pictures of her:
