Weston's Musical Debut

Last week, I finally got Weston on video singing his "renditions" of Twinkle Twinkle and ABCs. (He caught on much sooner than I did to the fact that they share a tune. I learned that well after Weston was born, when I started singing those songs to him. I felt like my entire childhood had been a lie.)

This video will also treat you to:
-A little bit of that classic hereditary stubbornness, well known to the parents of his parents, heh heh!
-A little bit of potholder love! (Yes, in addition to spatulas, he also loves potholders.)

FYI, I subtitled the lyrics, in case some of you aren't fluent in Westonese. Enjoy!

Your blog is one of the few that truly makes me laugh out loud and love my day. Thanks for an awesome sense of humor and a totally rad little boy.

He really is so cute. Paige came running over to the computer to see what I was watching, and said, "who is that cute boy?" and yes, she is still awake at this late hour... anyway, I wanted to tell you that I found out/felt the EXACT same way about those two songs that share a tune. How on earth did I not figure that out sooner?

Awwwwwww CUTE!!!!!!!!!! I love it!! Especially Elma-P. That could be the name of a syrup... like Aunt Jemima's cousin who is also her sworn enemy. Anyways.

HAHAH! the sneezes are truly the best part...i lol'ed. he is a pretty cute kid though -- very impressive songmanship :)

Headle said...

CUTE!! I love the sneezes too! Ha ha!

The subtitles are awesome! I'm with Liz, then Elma-P was great. Oh, he's a sweetheart!

Oh my gosh, he just kills me! So darn cute!! I really can't believe how MUCH he talks (and sings). Sheesh. We are living in the stone age over here. By the way, "Baa Baa Black Sheep" also has the same tune. Whoever made up these songs wasn't very creative.

Ahhh!! Hahahaha! He is SO DARN CUTE!! Love the sneezes. LOL :) I love the subtitles too :) I did not realize those songs had the same tune either and now I too feel my childhood was a lie. Boo.

I love toddlers singing ABC's. L-M-N-O always seems to blur together. Adorable video.

Okay, for his next precocious performance, teach him how to conduct an orchestra with his spatula!

Hey Tim and Jean, that's a great video, thanks for posting it :^)

I'm a sucker for a good sneezer. He is sooo cute, spatula's...who knew?

sachia said...

Hi Jean. What I meant to say about the spatula's was that all the time singing in the spatula's led him to this perfect rendition of the ABC's. That was impressive. Well, that and a little help from mommy singing her heart out to her son.
