I love my toddler, he's cute and cuddly and gives the sweetest kisses a mama could want. But...boy can he ever make a mess! Some days I feel that all I do is follow him around, cleaning up his messes (with his assistance of course).
Knowing that 'whistling while you work' helps clean-up to go faster, I've penned a little clean-up song. You're welcome.
Mess Maker
(sung to the tune of Match Maker from Fiddler on the Roof)
Mess Maker, Mess Maker
Make me a mess
Skip all your naps
You don't need rest
Mess Maker, Mess Maker
Tear through the house
And make a gigantic mess!
Mess Maker, Mess Maker,
Rip up the room
I have supplies
I'll start with the broom
Make me a mess for I'm longing to be
The maid you assume me to be!
On Monday:
Dump all the trash cans
On Tuesday:
Please track mud on the floor
On Weekends:
Don't dare wash your hands
Smudge the windows with fingerprints galore
Mess Maker, Mess Maker
Make me a mess
Skip all your naps
You don't need rest
Make me a mess for I'm longing to be
The maid you assume me to be!
LOL! Too cute! :)
ReplyDeleteCute!! My son is 15mo, but I can already see that he is WAY more of a mess-maker than his older sister ever was. Maybe it's a boy thing!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny -- I have sung the words Mess maker make me a mess to that tune for my little ones too! Love your verses! Precious.
ReplyDeleteI love it! My husband sings "Mess maker, mess maker, make me a mess" to our kids all the time, but ends it there. I can't wait to show him all the lyrics you came up with.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think that he truly believes that our kids are the only children on the planet that make incredible messes. So nice to know our family isn't so weird. :)
Oh my goodness, this is adorable! And so true! :)
ReplyDeleteHaHa! Love it! That's so cute, and so so so very true!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I can totally relate. Sad thing is I don't have toddlers. But my big kids are just as messy.
