"Tree Bite, Tree Bite"

We sing a lot at our house. "Tree Bite, Tree Bite" is the song Olivia sings most often. What? You've never heard of this song? Most of you probably know it by its more common name, "Clean Up, Clean Up." I've been singing the clean up song to Olivia for over a year (with a few breaks, to catch my breath) and she is finally cleaning up without a battle (most of the time). She even dumps toys out on the floor and then immediately says, "tree bite" and starts cleaning up as she sings the song. I love it! Not only is it cute, but I'm not doing most (or all) of the cleaning up anymore.

I don't know how she gets "tree bite" out of "clean up," but most of the other words come out pretty close to how the rest of us say them.

Hurray for tree biting! It's so nice to not have to bite the tree all by yourself! ;)I used to sometimes sing under my breath, "Clean up, clean up, every mommy everywhere...."
