The Mom I Want to Be

One, Two, Three, Four, Five: Knock Knock: Wiggles:

One, two, three, four, five (Count on fingers.)
Once I caught a fish alive. (Wiggle hand like a fish.)
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. (Count fingers on second hand.)
Then I let him go again. (Pretend to throw fish back.)
Why did I let that fishy go?
Because he bit my finger so! (Shake hand as though in pain.)
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger on the right! (Hold up little finger on right hand.)

 

Knock, knock. (Knock on baby’s forehead.)
Peek in. (Open eyes wider.)
Open the latch. (Push up the tip of the nose.)
And walk right in. (Walk fingers into mouth.)
How do you do, Ms. Chin-chin-chin? (Wiggle chin.)

 

I wiggle my fingers,
I wiggle my toes.
I wiggle my shoulders,
I wiggle my nose.
Now the wiggles are out of me.
See how still I can be.

 

Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes:

 

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes

And Eyes and Ears and Mouth and Nose

 Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Thumbkin, Pointer

 

Thumbkin, pointer, middleman big.

(point to each of baby’s fingers.)

Silly man, wee man, rig-a-jig-jig.

(Roll baby’s hands around each other.)
