I used to sing to Hank all.the.time. We'd go to gym classes and learn new songs, bring them home and reinact the silly dances that went with them.
With Otis... well, it would seem as though the dear child has more sensitive ear drums or just a more refined musical taste than I can provide. Any time I get more than 5 words into a song, "AHHHHHH!!!!" until I stop. Then, he giggles hysterically.
It's making learning the ABC song, Slippery Fish, 5 Little Monkeys, etc. really, really difficult.
I think it's time to call in Raffi.
Re: Songs
E loves for me to sing and I couldn't carry a note if my life depended on it. There's just no accounting for taste in a toddler!
Although, she does enjoy "singing" Twinkle Twinkle with me.
