roll over

Here's video of Elias rolling first to the right, and then, with some help from Mom, to the left:



I always think of the song, about the kids in bed, and how one gets crowded and asks the others to roll over, and so they do and then one falls out and you go through the song again, counting down from there...How does that song go exactly? "Four in the bed and the little one said, roll over, I'm crowded. So they all rolled over, and" - and here's where I get confused - "something, something, something...Three in the bed..." and so on. It's driving me crazy.

Anyway, we're off soon for Elias's two-month shots. Yay.

"So they all rolled over and one fell out, three bears in the bed and the little one said, roll over, I'm crowded!"

And finally: "One bear in the bed and the little one said, come back here, I'm lonely!"

Yes, the version I grew up with was about bears :)

Thanks, Chrissa! I had the words right but the rhythm of that second line was throwing me - I was trying to find more words to fit in there. Good, now I can sleep tonight...Oh wait, no I can't, I've got a two-month old! :)

By the way, the video didn't upload the first time around but it's up there now...

There were ten in a bed and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over." So they all rolled over and one fell out. There were nine in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over." So they all rolled over and one fell out. There were eight in the bed . . . (keep going until)

There was one in the bed and the little one said, "Good night!"

OK, this is what I remember - It's a counting game to make kids remember numbers easily. Anything educational!!

I so much love the video – I’d am just happy as punch and makes me feel like I’m there with you. This is too cool and cudos to you little Mom for keeping up with it – it must be hard but you keep going, and going and . . .

It’s my Elias fix. robin
