Baby Beluga

DominicsNana gave Dominic the book Baby Beluga and its accompanying music CD by Raffi. Dominic has memorized the lyrics and loves to sing along with the music while reading the book.


Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,

Swim so wild and you swim so free.

Heaven above, and the sea below,

And a little white whale on the go.


Baby beluga, baby Beluga,

is the water warm? Is your mama home

with you, so happy.


Way down yonder where the dolphins play,

Where they dive and splash all day,

The waves roll in and the waves roll out,

See the water squirting out of your spout.


Baby beluga, baby Beluga,

sing your little song, Sing for all your friends,

we like to hear you.


When it's dark, you're home and fed,

Curl up snug in your water bed.

Moon is shining and the stars are out,

Good night, little whale, goodnight.


Baby beluga, baby Beluga,

with tomorrow's sun, Another day's begun,

you'll soon be waking.


Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,

Swim so wild and you swim so free.

Heaven above and the sea below,


And a little white whale on the go.

You're just a little white whale on the go.

Lately, he has not listened to it so much, but Jocelyn has taken up the song as her anthem. She loves to play it over, and over, and over again (even Dominic says its too much sometimes...)

When the song is about to end, Joss knows that she has to get up and press the back button to listen to the song again. So she always jumps up just as the song ends, runs over to the cd-player, and starts hitting buttons. She only needs to hit the back button once, but she hasn't quite figured that out, so she presses both the fast forward and the back buttons multiple times, leading to much frustration on her part as her song does not start as she wants! The look on her face is often priceless as she realizes that it is the wrong song and that she has to get up and run back to the cd-player.

Blogger has a new feature, allowing me to upload videos directly to the blog, lets see how it turns out.
