Pookie has a new song he likes to sing. Two in fact.
The one we hear the most often is “Mommy and Me” from the Mommy and Me videos. In the house this week he has pretty much been singing it non-stop. Out of the house it has been stopping and then as soon as he gets home it starts up again.
This morning Geetle actually asked Pookie to sing a different song during breakfast.
The other song is “Zoot Suit Riot.” The other day at the wedding, I walked him to the bathroom and watched while he stood in front of the urinal with his tux pants around his ankles singing, “Now you sailors know/Where your women come for love.” I kept expecting him to ask me for another round.
Fortunately, he doesn’t actually know most of the words so they kind of get all mumbled together which actually helps enhance the whole had to much to drink vibe.
Geetle has a lot of new words that she is using these days. I would write more about them but I’m not sure they are written with English letters. I can’t pronounce most of the words after she says them and I have a little experience with that sort of thing after my four years as an Arabic linguist.
The closest I can come is to show an example dialogue.
“Dad, this is my new [garbled].” [while pointing to a fork].
“A new [apparently different garble]?”
“No, dad [sigh]. It’s my new [garbled][sigh].”
Between the new songs and the new words, we are always on our toes around here.

Too cute! My daughter, Alex, is totally in love with Justin Timberlake. I figured 16 months old would be too young, but apparently not. I made a video of her dancing to her favorite jam, if you want to check it out.

Little E does the same thing as Geetle, and it never fails to crack me up. Maybe it’s learning the whole imagination thing or something, but hearing the names they come up with is truly hilarious! And he sings the Transformers song endlessly (“Transformers, more than meets the eye!”). One line. It’s enough to drive a crazy man sane, for sure!
Just made me search for my Squirrel Nut Zipper’s CD! Charlie is always singing the James Taylor song from ‘Cars.’ It is so sweet since its a slow song!
SAHD, It’s funny how all little kids have the same dance move.
Heather, I drove my wife crazy for a couple days singing the same line after watching the movie. I’m just glad Pookie didn’t pick up the tune and add it to his library.
Jennifer, Pookie used to sing the song from the Heffalump movie where Kanga is tucking Roo into bed and talking about how quickly Roo is growing up. Slow and sappy. I used to love watching him calm himself down while singing it because you can’t run around like a crazy man while singing the slow jams.
