When I posted the 7-months pic of Elias with guitar for scale, I promised a more comprehensive report at a later time. In addition to all the drama around sleep, this video sums up pretty well what Elias has been working on these past few weeks, namely moving, making noise, and trying to get at whatever it is I have in my hands (camera, cell phone, utensil, coffee cup, etc.).
I started the video to try and capture this rocking thing Elias does when he gets himself up on his hands and knees. Instead I recorded this little ventriloquist act he's got going the past couple of days. You can also see his bottom two teeth pretty well. I took the camera back from my little apprentice when he started scratching at the lens. He's got toy versions of a cell phone and car keys...I guess camera will have to be next.
As for the song in the background (and the title of this post), I honestly didn't even realize I was humming and then whistling along until I watched the video. I get such a kick out of this song for some reason.
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Blue skies forever
The world is a happy and wonderful place
As long as we are together
Indeed.

I know that song too but I always thought the lyrics were:
Ay Ay ay ay.
In China they never grow Chile
So sing me another verse thats
worse than the first verse
and you will feel rather silly.
Hmm, interesting version. Less sentimental, don't you think? I'm finding that a lot of childrens' tunes are recycled to different lyrics, so that's probably the case with this one.
Neal seems to think we've heard it before in many a Mexican restaurant but I have no memories of this.
