The Wheels on the Train

With each visit the cousins grow closer. This morning, we gathered early in the backyard to play before the day grew too hot and humid. After enjoying a nice lunch, the boys were in the mood for a song or two. First we taught Levi and Pa one of our favorites, “There were Ten in the Bed”. The twins enthusiastically sang their parts as we counted down to one. The next selection was our own composition based on the old traditional “The Wheels on the Bus”. Since we like trains better, our song focused on that transportation form adding verses like – the conductor on the train calls “all aboard” – all complete with hand gestures. On his next visit we’ll sing it in three part harmony.
