Matt's Song to Carmen

Carmen's been working very hard all weekend to increase her fiber intake. She knows that if she gets caught with something small and non-food in her mouth she gets it taken away, so she has gotten very fast at snatching nibbly little things up off the floor, stuffing them in her mouth, and then looking up sweetly with a "cat that ate the canary" kind of smile. Today after leaving her alone for no more than a minute, we found she had eaten a chunk off of the corrugated cardboard box she had been playing with. Matt sang this song to her:

There a big baby who swallowed a box
Stubbon as ox, she swallowed that box
She swallowed the box to hold the dirt
She swallowed the dirt to get more crumbs
She swallowed the crumbs after the leaf
I don't know why she swallowed the leaf
She's beyond belief.
