Itsy-bitsy Spider

Last night, as I was trying to get Griffith to sleep, I was rocking him with my eyes closed. I had gone through the usual (You Are My Sunshine, I Love You, Griffith, The Battle Hymn of the Republic) and moved on to The Itsy-Bitsy Spider when I felt Griff jerk and I opened my eyes to find him smiling at me with his arms thrown above his head and holding his fingers together. As I continued he did the sun and the rain and washing the spider out, all the while giggling.
When I reached the end he yelled, "yea!!!" He was entirely pleased with himself.

I didn't realize that he and Jesana had been practicing.

Note to self: do NOT sing Itsy-Bitsy Spider at bedtime.
