"Wake Up, Wake Up, Brush Your Teeth"
What a start to a Tuesday. The above little ditty is now stuck in my head for the day, I'm sure.
"Wake Up, Wake Up, Brush Your Teeth".
A Philipino mum was singing it to her baby, as she tried to bottlefeed her. The child weighs under 5 lb, and was bundled up in pyjamas, a fleecy blanket and had her little pink hat on. Of course a preemie would rather sleep than eat, especially when cozy and warm like that. So the nurse stepped in on the little ditty and subtle rocking of the baby to awake her and little Gerry-Lynn got unwrapped and opened her eyes.
"Wake Up, Wake Up, Brush Your Teeth".
Back with the feeding, back with the little ditty. Preemies don't have teeth, Mommy!!!
Then Gerry-Lynn puked. Mum reclined her a little bit and was scolded by the nurse, who was inserting an IV in another child, for not burping her sooner, and was told to tilt her forward, so that she doesn't choke and so all the gooey formula goodness can spill over mum's pants.
"Wake Up, Wake Up, Brush Your Teeth".
Once wiped free of vomit, Gerry-Lynn finished her bottle.
I hope this song is now in your heads, and not in mine!!! Ms. M ¶ 10:56 AM

"Feel the rythm and the music getting stronga....."
