Lena and I have a bed-time ritual where I read her a book, then "tickle her back". We've exhausted her entire library of books and one night I got so fed up with reading her Scooby Doo book (for the millionth time!) that I suggested we start singing songs together instead of reading. She loved that idea, but only wanted me to sing and she would "hear". I sang You Are My Sunshine and Twinkle Twinkle.
The next night, after I'd sung "the sunshine song" she told me she wanted me to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep. Okay, fine, that's a good one. For the next three nights she only wanted me to sing those two songs. Then, last night, she decided that "only she" would sing and she wanted to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep to me.
Here is how she sang it, word for word:
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any wuh?
Yessir, yessir, free bags full.
One for my master, one for the sheep,
one for the little girl who lives up the creek.
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any wuh?
Yessir, yessir, free bags full.
