Ba Ba

The other night Bobby boy was laying in bed with me. Lights were off. It was way past time to sleep. I was gonna let him sleep on the bed with me. Too tired to move him to his crib now. Boy wasn't asleep yet. He was moving about, making noises. Typically he does his usual throw the monster ball off the bed, then look at it with longing, and call to it. He looks on concerned, like he was on a boat at sea, and monster ball fell off the boat surrounded by sharks. After calling to his monster ball a few times, he would usually turn to me to get up and get his ball, in stead. He gives quite specific instructions like- get up,  go there, get monster ball. These are repeated with increasing volume until i oblige. 

But anyway, on this night, we were past that. Lights were off. I was about to drift off when the boy started singing to himself. 

Ba ba bla she, hai u ayi oo,

Yeso yeso, too baa oo,

One for mater, one for day,

One for..

By the time he finished i couldn't believe it! So cool! When did this happen? Bobby boy is learning, he's so smart! I was delighted! Time to grab the boy and smother him with kisses!
