Songs in the "Rain"
My 3-year-old, Sarah, loves to take a shower with me. When she was smaller, she used to tell me she wanted to "get in the rain," meaning she wanted to get right under the shower head. She loves to sing, and if there's water involved, that's even better as far as she's concerned. She has loved water since she was a baby. There are a few songs she likes to sing in the shower. One of her favorites is a Barney song. If you have kids, you surely know this one. If so, sing along. If not, here are some of the words:
If all the rain drops were lemon drops and gum drops,
Oh, what a rain that would be.
Standing outside with my mouth open wide.
(Now tilt your head back and stick your tongue out!)
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah!!!
We like The Wiggles, too. The Wiggles Bay video provides some lively bath-time song material. We get to sing about Henry the Octopus, Swim Like a Fish, and my personal favorite, Zing Zang Wing Wang Wong. It's upbeat and really quite catchy. Sarah hit me with a new one tonight while she was washing her hair. It was from the movie Mulan, in the scene where she's in the tub getting her hair washed by the "Match Maker," where she sings, "Spit and polished til you glow with pride..." It always amazes me how she can take something she sees on TV and apply it to her everyday life. She's soooooooo smart that way. And even though she understands what the shower is now, we still jokingly call it "the rain." Some of our most fun times together are spent "in the rain." (smile)
