Yesterday afternoon, I was baby talking with Sadie(3 mos). The louder and more ridiculous I sounded, the bigger her grin AND the louder Aubrey(4) and Emma(2) would giggle. I led a rousing rendition of 6 Little Ducks, followed in quick succession by every song the big girls know, including a few Christmas songs.
Sadie smiled and cooed at me and the big girls being silly.
I said, “Let’s sing the Hokey Pokey!”
Aubrey said “What’s that??”
I was horrified! How could my child be 4 years old and NOT know the Hokey Pokey?
We got on iTunes and downloaded it, after shaking it all about one good time, Emma said “I wike dat Momma, wet’s do it again. Wet’s do the Holy Pokey…”
Aubrey cheered “YEAH, put your red foot in!!!”
I said “It’s the HOKEY POKEY, and your RIGHT foot! But we can do it again!”
So we did!
