A long time ago, I order a few Scholastic books from Darlene (a teacher). I love how there are $1 books and one of them happened to be "Five Green and Speckled Frogs". I remember this song from when I was a little girl and just had to pass it on to the next generation.
Hailey loves books and has always been good about sitting on my lap and letting me read to her. I'm not sure if it's because I read to her when she was an infant and I had to be up at odd hours or if she's just like that. I thought all my kids would be like that. However, having another to compare to changes those ideas. Don't get me wrong, Robert likes books. He likes turning the pages before I even finished reading the page. He especially likes really books because there are a lot of pages to turn. I have found one book (a pop up type of book) that he really likes and will sit through. What Robert likes better is music!!! So this "Five Green and Speckled Frogs" book is perfect for the two of them. I sing to it, which entertains Robert, while Hailey has pictures to looks at.
Part two of our story:
We got little rubber frogs that were supposed to stick at the bottom of the tub, so the kids won't slip. They didn't work and ended up as just regular bath toys. After reading and singing this song so much to the kids for bedtime, it also turned into a bath time song. Nathan started this with the kids and they love it. Hailey helps line up the frogs on the tub and lets them jump at the right time in the song.
Here is a video of Hailey singing this song. (Make sure you are looking at this through the blog site and not the email or it won't work). And yes, I did call it the Freckled Frog song while I'm talking to Hailey. I am pretty tired at this point in the day.
In case you forgot, here are the words:
Five green and speckled frogs
Sitting on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
YUM YUM
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice a cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs

That song is a fav in our home too! That is really cute with hailey singing it! Good job Hailey. :-)
I learned that one at the BYUI Preschool labs. Too fun. I might have to get my hands on that book. Jacen loves books and music. I find that his favorite book is the wheels on the bus, probably because there is music, too.
