Songs That Make Juliette Smile

We do a lot of singing in our house, we have songs for nap time, snack, bath time and just for fun. Many of them are just made up to go with what we are doing at the moment and others are old favorites from when I was little. Recently I have noticed that some songs make Juliette break out into the biggest smile ever. So here are two of her current favorites.

Ham and Eggs

Ham and eggs
Ham and eggs
I like mine fried nice and brown,
and I like mine turned upside down.
Ham and eggs
Ham and eggs
Flip! flop! Flip! Flop!
Ham and eggs!

Songs for teaching have the sheet music for this song.

Boom Boom Chicka Boom

I said a boom chicka boom
[Students repeat]
I said a boom chicka boom.
[Students repeat]

I said a boom chicka rocka
Chicka rocka, chicka boom
[Students repeat]

I said a boom chicka boom.
[Students repeat]

Oh yeah (echo), uh huh (echo), next time (echo)

A little softer (echo).

A little louder...
A little slower...

A little faster...

The end!!!

Emily loves being able to help out with this song so both of them get to enjoy it!!

See Saw Knock on the Door

When Emily was a baby my Mother-in-Law would rock her and sing her this little rhyme.   It always made her smile and now Emily loves singing it to Juliette.

See Saw Rhyme

See saw knock on the door.

Who’s there?

Juliette Bear

What do you want?

A glass of milk

Where’s your money?

In my pocket

Where’s your pocket?

In my pants

Where are your pants?

I left them home!!

It's Juliette's Turn!!

Baby Fun

When Emily was little I was always looking for things to keep her smiling and entertained in between feeding and naps. The library had lots of different books that had poems, songs, games and other activities to do with babies. So I headed back to library for a refresher course on baby fun!!

Baby's Fingers

This chant is from Games to Play with Babies, by Jackie Silberg

While I said the chant to Juliette I touched the parts of her body that were mentioned as I named them. She was smiling throughout the game!!

Where, oh where, are baby's finger?

Where, oh where, are baby's toes?

Where's the baby's belly button?

'Round and 'round it goes.

Where, oh where , are baby's ears?

Where, oh where, is baby's nose?

Where's the baby's bellybutton?

'Round and 'round it goes.
