Rock-a-Kani
Jun 16th, 2008 by susan
My almost 28-month-old daughter Keilani has a favorite song, “Rock-a-Kani” (sung to the old favorite “Rockabye Baby”) that she likes me to sing for her whenever she needs some comfort:
Rockabye Kani,
In the blue chair,
When the wind blows,
It messes up our hair,When the wind stops,
We laugh and we sing,
And we go to the playground,
To swing on the swings!
I love that my daughter loves music as much as I do! We attend two music classes each week, and I have to confess that they are as much fun for Mommy as they are for Keilani. I hope she will grow up with a love of music and dancing and that it will add a lot of joy to her life.
Her current favorites to sing are (in no particular order):
- Rain, rain, go away
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
- The ABC Song
- The Wheels on the Bus (particularly “Beep beep beep!”)
- Great Big Stars
- Su La Li (particularly enjoys saying “Freeze!” to command others to stop in the middle of the song)
And many more. She sings joyously, constantly, crazily, and I love it.
