Top Tunes

Dear Mackenzie,

You have always loved the songs "In Summer" (from Frozen) and "Slaughter Race" (from Wreck-It Ralph) but now two more tunes have joined your list of top faves. The first one is a kids' classic: "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider." You always listen intently when I sing it and every time you want me to sing it, you mimic the spider motion that I make and tap all of your fingertips together and say, "Ungh ungh ungh." It is so cute! Last night, you actually requested that I sing it over a dozen times. I was getting tired of singing it but the way you tap your fingertips together and look at me expectantly and then the way you look so pleased when I start the first refrain--I can't say no!

Your second new favorite song is the favorite song of hundreds of toddlers around the world: "Baby Shark!" You get SO excited when I sing it or play the song on YouTube and you do your adorable pointed finger wag/back-and-forth sway dance move. When Daddy sings it at super speed, you shake your head back and forth so fast and giggle like crazy. Adorable!

Love,

Mom
