Ready for Kindergarten!

Yes, I have a new 5 year old!   My baby boy, Jacob turned five this past week... and he is ready to take on the world!   His language skills have just exploded in the past month and he is talking all the time... and starting to "read!"   Listen in on Jacob's version of "Five Little Monkeys:"

So yes, Jacob is starting to read, he can write his name, he's even showing in starting to tie his shoes!  whoo-hoo!   So in honor of all these achievements, we've written a song called "Ready for Kindergarten."  This will be released on the CD that's coming out in the spring.   Jacob sings lead on the song, and does a great job... you will have to listen for him.... it's great!


Ready for Kindergarten
By:  Denise Forney

I’ve learned to zip my coat
I’ve learned to tie my shoes
I can do it myself
Yeah, I know what to do
I’m a big kid now – and I’m ready for Kindergarten!

I can write my name
And all my ABC’s
I can count real far,
I know my 1, 2, 3’s
I’m a big kid now – and I’m ready for Kindergarten!

(Chorus)
I’ve been waiting for this day the whole entire year
I can hardly believe that it is finally here
So let’s scream and shout, it’s time to celebrate
I’m going to Kindergarten and it’s going to be great!

Yeah!...(yeah!)  Yeah!...(yeah!)
Yeah! - (yeah!) Yeah! - (yeah!)  Yeah! 

(Verse 2)
I’ve got all my supplies
Yep, they’re in my back pack
Got my crayons and glue
And yes, I got my snack
I’m a big kid now – and I’m ready for Kindergarten!

I give a kiss to my mom
I give a hug to my dad
They’re so proud of me
I know they’re happy and sad
That I’m a big kid now – and I’m ready for Kindergarten!

(Chorus)
I’ve been waiting for this day the whole entire year
I can hardly believe that it is finally here
So let’s scream and shout, it’s time to celebrate
I’m going to Kindergarten and it’s going to be great!

Yeah!...(yeah!)  Yeah!...(yeah!)
Yeah! - (yeah!) Yeah! - (yeah!)  Yeah!
