Now I'm wondering about the connection and history of the songs.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-60238350246041557142017-02-08T06:40:43.300-08:002017-02-08T06:40:43.300-08:00That's so funny that you would sing this song ...That's so funny that you would sing this song as a reward. I can appreciate that as a special ed teacher: whatever it takes to motivate! I haven't heard the Bear song; I'll have to look that one up.

I'm always interested that, whilst we share a lot of songs and things with Nth Americans, there's also a lot that is different. Turns out I knew the song, but as "When Johnnny Comes Marching Home."<br /><br />How lovely though that AJ requested it.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-89339346233054350052017-02-07T17:44:50.311-08:002017-02-07T17:44:50.311-08:00Oh, how bittersweet.

I love that song, although I sang it a bazillion times when I had a student with autism who liked that as a discrete trial reward (that and Five Little Speckled Frogs, another classic). The Other Day I Saw A Bear is a fun one for toddlers, too... but it's hard when there's a song or something that reminds you of those times gone by, of the unstoppable marching of time.

Ways to slow down time....One way, have hours or days, where there isn't much to do. Hard to achieve as an adult. Also, to really get inside of and experience the everyday details of life. This one is s little more achievable. Or not have children. Time seemed to move much slower before AJ. That ones not an option anymore 😄torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-91079821039673042992017-02-07T05:54:30.947-08:002017-02-07T05:54:30.947-08:00Oh, wow!
