So, I had a pretty good "Mommy Moment" tonight. Taysum wanted me to read, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. We read it together, as he has most of it memorized. After the story and a prayer, I asked him if he would like a song. He said he wanted a caterpillar song. I thought for a moment, but I couldn't think of any caterpillar songs. So I said, "I'm sorry; I don't know any caterpillar songs. Can you think of a different one?" He said, "How about....a caterpillar song?" We repeated this a couple times and then I started to think and this is what I came up with:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Song
(Sung to "The Eency Weency Spider")
Once there was a caterpillar, he was very small
Then he saw a lot of food and he ate it all!
He got big and fat and built a nice cocoon
Then he was a butterfy very, very soon.
Probably won't win a Grammy, but it made my little boy smile...actions and all!
