Bird Song

Angel taught this to Choclo and when they do it together it is a marvelous combination of heart-meltingly sweet and hilarious.









Way up in the sky,
The big birdies fly (flap your arms).
While down in the nest,
The little birds rest (circle child with your arms).
With a wing on the left (flap child's left arm),
And a wing on the right (flap right arm).
The little birds sleep (snore)
All through the night (head on folded hands, eyes closed).
SHHHHHH! They're SLEEPING!!!!
The bright sun comes up! (raise arms)
The dew melts away! (lower arms with "raining" fingers)
Good Morning! Good Morning!
The little birds say!

Repeat as often as the child jumps up and down and shouts, "AGAIN!"
