Song of the day

This morning On Tuesday 7th February* when LittleBear** scrambled into bed with me, he decided it was song-time. And not just any song. No, this was a song he made up himself. Fortunately we had plenty of time, as he's off school today having been sick on Sunday night. (School have a 48 hour policy on letting vomitters back in again).

Which was a lovely and creative song, and easy to half doze off while listening to. Right up until I was asked to sing it back to LittleBear. He offered to sing the numbers while I did the words. That'll teach me not to pay attention to his song...



* LittleBear has decided to help write this, and has told me that "this morning" doesn't make sense, because if someone reads this on another day it wouldn't be true any more, so I should put the actual date.

** LittleBear believes I should put his real name here, in case anyone thinks it's an actual bear.

*** Some of you may notice that all the items in the song are things that LittleBear could observe when looking around the bedroom. I do NOT know where the bottle of champagne came into it. We do not keep champagne bottles, full or empty, in the bedroom. LittleBear has limited exposure to the existence of alcoholic beverages. Honest.
