Blah Blah...Blahk Ship

Baby Cat is a big songbird. Her current fave song is this one:



Blah blah blahk ship

Henny henny whul

Less-sir less-sir

Hee haa hool

Hann hnn hnn ster

Hann hnn name

Hann hnn boy

Lainn

Blah blah blahk ship

Henny henny whul

Less-sir less-sir

Hee haa hool



Certainly you can recognize her rendition of Bah Bah Black Sheep. She's basically gotten the tune although she has yet to master the lyrics. Her made-up words to the song sound better to my ears though.



I can never get tired of her singing. I actually beg her to sing, bribing her with anything on hand. A piece of chocolate, a cup of chocolate milk. Anything! Just to get her to sing.



It's bad practice I know. I turn hypocrite and forget for the time being what baby books say about bribes and their long-term effects. But wouldn't you do the same if you were me?



Her mini-concerts are something to behold. Laila becomes a soft-voiced soprano--if there's such a singer type--avoiding all eye-contact but continuing to sing nonetheless. When she's in a really good mood, she includes a swing of the hips and some flailing arms to her routine.



She also belts out a Rock-a-bye Baby once in a while, and then abruptly stops to exclaim with concern: 'Hulog yung baby baba, lakas hangin kse.'



Baby Cat might not be able to say the lyrics right, but she understands them.
