bean, bean. I am a green bean...

This morning as I was making my husband's french toast, Emery's banana pancakes (*from scratch) and cutting up Addison's banana, I couldn't help but laugh at Justin and Emery singing a song about Justin having to go to work. It all started when Emery asked, "You don't have to go to work today daddy?"


Justin: "No, I have to go to work today buddy."
Emery: "Why?"
Justin replies with the whole "to put a roof over your head, food on the table, etc."
Emery: "You don't have to go to work."
Here is when Justin comes back with the musical tune close to that of the "Anything you can do I can do better" but the words; "Yes, I have to go to work"
Emery: "No you don't have to go to work"


This repeats about 6 times until I get the food in front of them and then silence for about 2 minutes (the amount of time it takes them to clear their plates).


Tonight also ended in a musical tune and hot chocolate (from scratch as well) Emery has a list of songs he likes before bed. Sometimes he will think of a subject for me to come up with words for that song, for instance tonight he wanted me to sing a song about one of his green blankets, it went a little something like this:


I have a green blanket
It is nice and clean.
I wrap myself up in it
and pretend I am a bean...
Bean, bean
bean, bean
I am a green bean!
Bean, bean
bean, bean
I am a green bean!


It was a hit! He joined in on the bean, bean parts. Emery wanted me to sing it for him until I finally said it was time for him to go to bed.

Hot Chocolate! Good on cold days, even better when it's from scratch...mmmm
