Little Purple Pansies
These lovely, and unusual pansies are from Monet's garden. Here in France, everything is in bloom, from the giant purple Irises bordering my driveway, to the weed daisies my girls find so exciting invading my lawn. It's lush. These pansies made me think of the song "Little Purple Pansies," and I started to sing it with my sister-in-law nearby and she had never heard of the song. So, I then asked her about other songs I consider standard for any child growing up in the west, like "In the Leafy Treetops," which she also didn't know, and "When I Grow Up, I Want to be a Mother..." I was dumbfounded and a bit sad that she didn't know any of these songs. My girls and I sing them (okay, not the mother song--it's just too schmaltzy) all the time.

"Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal. Send my a kiss by wire. Baby, my heart's on fire. If you refuse me, honey you'll lose me. Then you'll be left alone. Oh, baby telephone and tell me I'm your own!"
Travis looks at me like I'm crazy when I sing "little purple pansies". I love that song! And I love "in the leafy treetops" too! I started playing a primary cd in the car today with the boys. I know they like a song when they clap at the end. I'm hoping repetition forces them to learn them all
I love all of the songs.
I've always been a sucker for the "I often go walking" mother's day tune as well...
We also love "Red, Red Robin." We spin and dance around like crazy!
