Benjamin's Song

Not that anyone probably cares about this but I sing a song to Benjamin while he's in his crib going to sleep. I made it up when he was a newborn and I sing it to him quite frequently as part of our bedtime songs. He requests it from time to time (however, he only requests it from me as I've never heard him ask David or anyone else to sing it. They probably wouldn't understand what he was requesting anyway, except for David). Another favorite song he requests most nights is the E-I-E-I-O song. The main reason I'm blogging about this is just in case years and years down the road if I happen to forget this song I can always look back on the blog to remember it. It goes to the tune of the ABC song and the words are:

I love Benjamin, yes I do
I love him more even more than my shoes
I like to give him kisses on the top of his head
And give him lots of hugs when he goes to bed
I love Benjamin, yes I do
I love him more even more than my shoes.

Okay, so now I have to come up with a song for Savannah. I was singing this song to her earlier but replaced "Benjamin" with "Savannah". Well, Benjamin DID NOT like that and threw an absolute fit. But he's right, Savannah needs her own song. Need to start working on that one....

Giving love to baby "seester"
