My Singing Boy

Karter has been around singing all his life. On one occasion I was teaching a voice lesson and my student got this really weird look on her face and said, "I think someone is singing." My son was echoing warm-ups after the student sang them. He has learned a few songs which are his favorite. He found an attachment to the vaccuum...it is now his microphone and the world is his stage!

The first favorite is a song from a Spongebob episode. Spongebob is singing to a Krabby Patty in this episode. The Krabby Patty was so beautiful that he could not allow the customer to eat it and started dating it. The lyrics are as follows, "Oh Baby, they may call me a fool, but I can't help our gravitational pull. When I stuff you with cotton candy, it reminds me you're so sweet. When we go riding it's dandy how you hang on to your seat. Baby. You're looks are sweeter than honey from your pickles to your buns it ain't even funny."



Another of Karter's favorites is the "builder song" from primary. I can't for the life of me figure out why this has become one of his favorites. Of all the primary songs, this one got on my nerves but he loves it and we sing it over and over. He combines this with the classic ABC song which goes as follows: H,I,J,K,L,M (gibberish)O,P, Q,CAR,S...etc. too fun! Of course...we have to end with the obligatory "Doodlie ooom boom." We had given him hot chocolate and he was pinging off the walls but sometimes it is just fun to sit back and marvel at the sheer energy coming out of the kid.



Kelly has taken it upon himself to teach Karter a Beatles song: "You never give me your money. You only give me your funny paper. And in the middle of negotiations, you break down. Outta college, money spent, see no future, pay no rent. All the money's gone, no where to go."



LOL. My little singer.
