new food on sunday...

i began eating baby food at the beginning of this year. ever since then, mommy tries to add one new food per week, & she always does this on sunday night. first, we started with fruits, then vegetables & now i even eat meat at dinner every day. i can also feed myself several different foods, such as cheerios, plums, bananas, & strawberries! one day, daddy started singing "new food on sunday" to the tune of the song "new moon on monday" by duran duran. the song developed into a story about how i am tired of the same old food & that i am frustrated that i can't express this in words. i look forward to sundays because i will experience a new food. then daddy used his new computer to record "new food on sunday." he recorded several tracks of voice & piano... during the chorus, there is a choir of 5 daddies (my daddy!) in this song!



"New Food on Sunday"

Shake up the picture the soy milk mixture
Your dance at the kitchen sink
I’m getting tired of all the same things
That you’ve been feeding me
I’ve thought it before
If I could only phrase it
Maybe I can take a bite
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I wait for you to decide
Save me from these reminders
As if I’d forget tonight
Last time for rice
I grabbed my fork and waited for the

New food on Sunday
I can’t wait to take a bite (can't wait to take a bite)
I’d hoped for turkey, (I grabbed my fork and waited for the new food on Sunday)
So I’d sleep all thru the night
