Clearly I have too much time on my hands…

Sing-a-long to the tune of “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” from The Sound of Music:

[Mama:]

You wait, little boy, with an empty mouth
For solid food to snack on
Your palate, little boy, is an empty page
For new flavors to write on

[Henry:]

To write on…

[Mama:]

You have two teeth, going on three teeth
Baby, it’s time to chew
Better beware, be cautious and careful
for Mama who’s nursing you

You have two teeth, going on three teeth
The others will come in time
Eager young moms and siblings and dads
Will offer you tastes sublime

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of food
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things that are not smooth

You need someone older and wiser
Cutting tidbits for you to chew
I am your mama, you are my baby
I’ll take care of you
