Basically, I'm A Clown

Ever since Dylan was born (okay, I've worked with kids before that, so it might have been longer), I have found that I'll do just about anything to make him smile or laugh.  What can I say?  I just love that sound!  Ever since he could laugh, he's been doing it loudly and often.  I wish everyone thought I was as funny as Dylan seems to.

One thing I do to make him laugh is to make up silly words to songs.  Here's a few examples...

(Yankee Doodle)
Dylan Doodle went to town, riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni...
(It's just fun to say "Dylan Doodle", and it always made him smile).

(This is his favorite lately).
Old McMommy had a house, E-I-E-I-O,
And in that house, she had a Dylan EIEIO
With a talk talk here, and a talk, talk there,
Here a talk, there a talk, everywhere a talk talk...

Old McMommy had a house, EIEIO,
And in that house, she had a "Daddy", EIEIO
With a drill drill here, and a hammer hammer there,
and a

Old McMommy had a "Puppy",
With a "Where's Puppy?" here, and a "Where's Puppy?" there..

Old McMommy had some toys,
Toys here and Toys there, Toys here there and everywhere...

(This is probably my favorite... sung to the Oscar Mayer song...)
My buddy has a first name, it's D-Y-L-A-N
My buddy has a second name it's (Blah, blah, blah, never you mind)
I love to hug him every day, and if you ask me why I'll say,
Cuz Dylan (Blah, Blah) has a way of bringing joy to every day.

Like I said, I just enjoy being silly and making him laugh.  One night at dinner, Jim was running late, and I sat in the chair he usually sits in.  Dylan said, "You're Daddy!"  I chanted...

"Hi!  I'm Daddy!  I work and work and work all day!  I never get to play!

And this is what I have to say - BOOOOO!"  When "Daddy" got home, the chant made him laugh, too.

Having kids is such a great excuse to be silly.  They love it, and laughter is infectious after all.  What do you do to be silly with your kids?  Please share.
