Hip, hip, hip, hippopotamus!

My son has been learning this song at preschool since the first week. Almost every day he would say, "we sang the hippopotamus song again." It wasn't clear if he enjoyed it or was getting tired of it. :)

His preschool open house was last week. He was *so* excited about it. We went to the pumpkin patch that same day and he was very concerned that we make it back in time. Well, we did, barely. I dropped off J and A and then ran home to get clean clothes for C since he stepped into a huge mud puddle at the farm.

A was so proud to show off his artwork and his classroom to Daddy and Mommy. His class sang the hippopotamus song for the families. I was very proud of A and his participation - singing and doing the hand motions. Other times when he has been in front of a crowd he has frozen up.

Here is a fun photo. Sorry about the lighting and blurriness. My son is on the right hand side in the dark blue t shirt.
You can listen to the song here. Beware - it may get stuck in your head for a while. It is a fun, sweet song.Pin It
