Here are some others that we've adapted to sing about Willem, family members and friends.
My Friends Lie Over the Ocean
tune: My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean
This one is pretty simple you insert other peoples names in the place of "Bonny." This was in someways therapeutic for Willem when we were separated from our friends and home over the summer. He really enjoyed being able to remember the friends he had back home and sing about them. He was so happy to see them again when we got home.
C is for Cookie or ___ is for ______
This one we got from a youtube video of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. Willem knows and recognizes the letter C and that Cookie starts with the letter C!
Here's the video:
We have adapted it for Willem and Belle's names and for that reason he knows and recognizes the Letters W and B.
Here's how our version goes:
W is for Willem
He is my little boy
W is for Willem
He is my little boy
W is for Willem
He is my little boy
Oh, W W W is for Willem!Willem, Willem Willem starts with W!
or
B is for Belle
She is my little girl
B is for Belle
She is my little girl
B is for Belle,
She is my little girl
Oh, B B B is for Belle!Belle, Belle, Belle starts with B!
You get the idea. We also sing C is for Carolyn since that is Belle's first name.
