Lullaby for Calista

I made up a silly ditty for Calista a few weeks ago, and she liked it so much she remembered the song and requested for it on a separate night. I had no idea what she was referring to when she said “sing…cat…” until she hummed the tune and went “kitty cat….”

This is what I made up for her – a simple tune designed to bore, calm and lull.

She will purr and pretend to be a cat as I sing this, sometimes singing it herself. It amazes me that she remembered the exact words of the song I made up and forgot.

Christian overheard this a few nights later, and came up with his version which tickled his sister.

“Kitty cat, time to eat, time to eat, eat corn corn, i feed you..”

His version is so typical of the little foodie.

Nowadays she modifies the song as she pleases too, going

“Kitty cat, time to eat, eat your corn, eat your noodle..eat..what else?”
