Music & Lyrics

Lately, Makela has been singing EVERYTHING. Instead of just talking, she'll put everyday conversation into "songs" that she makes up. Or sometimes she puts new words to music she already knows.

For example, a recent favorite has been a song called "We're going to the Y." It's to the tune of "Farmer in the Dell." And she also has a made-up song about visits to the beach:

We're going to the beach.
We're going to the beach.
We're going to the beach, beach, beach, beach, BEEEEEEEEEACH!

Here's another favorite song that she keeps repeating, with the same music and (mostly) the same lyrics -- we call it the "Curious George Song":

It's Curious George's birthday
He was born this day
He's a good little monkey,
But always very curious....

And of course, my personal favorite, which Makela made up while on the kiddie swings at Nobel Park a few weeks ago:

Bumble cookies flying in the sky
Bumble cookies wearing t-shirts and hats....

Not sure about her future in the music industry, but the kid's got personality, you've got to give her that!
