Jayden Sings :: A Fish Song

It has been almost a year since I posted a video of Jayden singing!  He sings all the time, at home, in the grocery story, in the bathroom, standing in the street, riding his bike down the road, swinging in the backyard...I think you get the idea.  He sings songs he knows and lots of songs he makes up.  I get funny looks from people when we are in stores, but my response back to them is, "Life's a musical when your 5!"

Here is a song he picked up at school.  He is coming home with lots of new material to belt around the house!

Jayden Sings :: On Thanksgiving

Since the girls of this house suffered from the flu all day yesterday, we've postponed Thanksgiving for a day. So, instead of Thanksgiving pictures here is another song from Jayden (which I think is just as good!). I am loving all the songs Jayden is bringing home from school. :)

Jayden Sings :: Miss Mary Mack

Jayden has been loving going to school, but getting details out of him as to what he did during the day is like pulling teeth. My questions have to be very specific if I'm to get anything. I guess I forgot to ask if he had music class on Friday because he didn't say anything to me about it, but at dinner he looks at me and says, "Hey Mom, guess what?" and then he proceeds to bust this out with no warning or explanation.

Jayden Sings :: Jesus Loves Me

Jayden is still singing all the time. I have yet to capture the new songs which he makes up on the spot about what he's doing right then, like "IIIIIII just spilled my waaaaaater, someone should bring me a toooooowwwwwel" They are hilarious and hopefully my camera will be in the right place at the right time!

This song is what Jayden often does for Willow before she takes a nap. Jayden always asks for me to sing Jesus Loves Me to him before he goes to sleep and when I'm not home, he'll let Royal do it. Now, Royal and I sing different versions of the song, and as you'll hear, Jayden puts them both together. :)

Jayden Sings :: A Medley

I asked Jayden this morning to go into his room and pick out some green clothes so I wasn’t forced to pinch his buns all day. No big surprise he showed up in his dinosaur costume. “This is green, right mom??? Now you won’t have to pinch my buns”

Then today at lunch, Jayden decided to bust out in song, so I recorded it for you. Not just one song friends, 3 songs. You are a lucky bunch!

Jayden Sings :: Old McDonald

I bet you didn’t know that Old McDonald has dinosaurs living on his farm!

And in case you didn’t know, a t-rex says “roar” and a long neck says “smack”. Smack would be the sound of it’s tail hitting a t-rex. (explanation given by Jayden)

Jayden Sings :: You Are My Sunshine

Jayden Sings :: Itsy Bitsy Spider

Jayden did some singing while he was sick, laying around on the couch. You can tell he’s pretty plugged up and then he gets a little distracted by Willow dancing around to the music and his nose running and stuff. :)

Jayden Sings :: Clementine

Jayden loves singing songs. He sings All. The. Time. If Willow is ever freaking out in the car, the only thing I’ve found that will calm her down is if Jayden sings to her. When I was in Washington this summer, I was driving back to my parent’s house from Royal’s parent’s house, which is a couple hour drive, and Jayden and Willow fell asleep. Then Willow woke up and started screaming because she doesn’t like to be in the car when it’s dark and she’s tired, and I still have a good hour left of the drive. After I tried everything (other than pulling over) to calm her down, I finally woke Jayden up and had him sing to her the rest of the way. As soon as Twinkle, Twinkle Little Start started up, she was quiet and just watched him sing. I’m never leaving on a long car ride with Willow without taking Jayden, that’s for sure!

I have been trying to video tape Jayden singing for the longest time, but wouldn’t you know, he doesn’t really like performing for me. Shocking…. However, I managed to get this last night. Royal found a website that will play just the music to a bunch of kids song, so I was able to record him on the computer without him knowing because it was “hidden” behind the webpage with the music. Genius!!!

So here, for your viewing entertainment, is Jayden singing “Oh, My Darling Clementine”
