Singing For My Supper

I sing Sophia to sleep every night. She's usually fussy about her songs and I have to wrack my brains to come up with new songs to sing. It gets frustrating when, after I sing a couple of lines, she shakes her head and says, "Dowan, dowan!". It happens EVERY night. And she doesn't like repeats either, so don't think you can fool her.

Just tonight though, after a few nights of introducing "On top of spaghetti" to her:

"On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese.
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door...."

"Meatbaow, meatbaow...!"

"Again?"

Nod, nod.

"On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese.
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door...."

"Meatbaow, meatbaow...!"


Oh well....
