MULBERRY BUSH

To report that AA loves her nursery ryhme book is definitely an understatement.  For the last several months, AA and I have sung our way through Humpty Dumpty, Twinkle Twinkle, Yankee Doodle, and Patt-a-Cake more times than I care to count.  Each song carries its own hand gestures and actions.  For whatever reason, AA's new favorite song is the Mulberry Bush.  I just do not understand the fascination with this page: just one big green leafy tree.  The song is quite boring, I must say, but after each rendition, AA looks up at me with her brown saucer eyes and signs, "More? More?".  And so I sing, "And here we go 'round the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush, the Mulberry bush, here we go 'round the Mulberry bush so early in the morning ...".  Last night Daddy put AA to bed ... apparently he's a bigger softie than I am ... I seriously heard him sing this song 15 times in a row! 
I wonder what will be the favorite ryhme next month!
