I overheard Bean singing a made-up tune while she was looking at the Olivia book while on the potty. I took notes. Sometimes it even rhymes! The stanza breaks are mine based on when I heard her pause. My Sunshine Girl is not only a scientist, but also a lyricist and composer! I can hardly believe she will turn four in less than a month.<\/p>\n

You make me sneeze
\nbecause I’m allergic to you
\nthe library’s a mess
\nI’m the best of the rest<\/p>\n

Oh me-oh my-oh
\nYou get the funnest job to do
\nAbe Lincoln brushed his teeth
\nBut now he’s got ahold of you<\/p>\n

You need a lot of things to do
\nYou can do all the best things
\nBut now you know what
\nEdwin knows the caden(?)<\/p>\n

Now a ball a bust
\nNow it’s time to go read
\nNow you know what
\nI am not so sleepy
\nBut now you gotta but<\/p>\n

Now listen to me
\nNow the world be gone
\nRun run run run
\nNot so tired at all<\/p>\n

We all ate the pizza
\nwe wish we are ballerina
\nAnd now you got to be quiet
\nBecause of the oldest day<\/p>\n

You kept a lot of things
\nI wish I could do that
\nNow I really moan
\nNow I can’t really do that<\/p>\n

I painted on the wall
\nWubba wubba wub-ba
\nNow it’s time to take your bath
\nNow a time out floor
\nI was thinking of my dinner
\nNow it’s time for more<\/p>\n

Now there’s only a few things
\nJust until your more
\nThese are my books
\nThese are my books\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
