Your Daily Laugh

Eliza has a need for social interaction when using the potty. Depending on who is available, she'll recruit Andrew or myself to accompany her to the "John." If we're needed elsewhere, she'll settle for the company of a good book.

Two nights ago, she wrangled in Andrew. Talk about service. Not only was he there to offer his moral support, but he also sang to her. I giggled to myself in the kitchen as I listened to to his loud, self written, gibberish inspired, compositions.

Andrew's memory suffers somewhat when it comes to remembering lyrics. This leads him to repeat the same line of a song over and over (and over and over). As he transitioned into the familiar song, "I've been working on the railroad..." I felt inspired to do this.

*** Please note: Andrew is fully clothed. This video is safe to view. Just make sure your volume is turned up.

SO hilarious! What a good daddy to sit there patiently with her and sing to entertain. Kudos!

Emily said...

That's hilarious! Andrew is the best dad to sing to her like that, even if he can't remember a whole song!

John and Trina Busch said...

I think that that is so funny. John doesn't remember either but the problem is he makes them up. Sometimes it gets pretty bad, especially with the activity. So if John was singing to our daughter on the potty it wouldnt be great to post on the blog. ;)

Awesome. I'm glad he got a good laugh out of it, too.
