Daniel von Trapp? - lay-oh, lay-oh, hoo hoo!

DansMom wrote: Daniel has taken a dramatic shift from Ray Charles to The Sound of Music We've been working on the Do Re Mi song for months now, so this weekend I rented the DVD so he could hear/see a fantastic production of the song, and now he's just wild about all the musical numbers in the Sound of Music (well, I couldn't get him excited about Edelweiss, my favorite). Every morning he shouts "Watch Do Re Mi!", then when that's done he wants to watch "Goatherd" about 8 times with the marionettes and the yodeling, which he pronounces "lay-oh lay-oh hoo hoo!". It's very cute. He likes the opening verse to Do Re Mi a lot, so I added to it:

When you read you begin with ABC...

When you count you begin with 123... (I added this)

When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi...

(He can sing the song up through FA, then it falls apart , I think because he's never seen a needle sewing thread. I guess I need to be more domestic.)

Corey's current hits include "blitzkreig bop" by the Ramones and "Ain't no Mountain High Enough". Not your typical toddler ditties. What's funny is she can sing almost any "grownup" song, but totally screws up "Twinkle Twinkle". Go figure.

I'd pay money to see that!

coasterqueen replied: Ha ha so cute!!!! I'd love to hear him sing it too.
