We have a family favorite called Over in the Meadow. We sang it constantly when Jack was a baby...he cried all the time in the car and this song was the only thing that calmed him.
Do you know the song? Sing along!
Over in the meadow, in the sand and the sun, lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one.
"Dig," said the mother. "I dig," said the one. So they dug all day in the sand and the sun.
Over in the meadow, where the stream runs blue, lived an old mother fish and her little fishies two.
"Swim," said the mother. "We swim," said the two. So they swam and they leaped where the stream runs blue.
Over in the meadow, in a hole in a tree, lived a mother bluebird and her little birdies three.
"Sing," said the mother. "We sing," said the three. So they sang and were glad in the hole in the tree.
Over in the meadow, in the reeds on the shore, lived a mother muskrat and her little ratties four.
"Dive," said the mother. "We dive," said the four. So they dived and they burrowed in the reeds on the shore.
Over in the meadow, in a snug beehive, lived a mother honeybee and her little honeys five.
"Buzz," said the mother. "We buzz," said the five. So they buzzed and the hummed near the snug beehive.
Here's the latest buzz. We are expecting our new little bee sometime around the end of April!
