Mr. M

My kids think that whenever anyone has a birthday, they have to have a "theme" ~ Last month they were over my brothers house celebrating my dad's b'day & thay asked him "Grandpa, what's your theme?" - My sister-in-law had some Winnie the Pooh stuff left over so his theme was Winnie the Pooh! Then they said that in October is Uncle John's b'day and what was his theme going to be?

Well, my brother John (& Jimmy & I) used to love the Letter People, so the kids decided that that was his "theme". The Letter People was a phonics program that they used in our elementary school growing up & each letter of the alphabet became a character to help children learn the sounds that it makes - Each letter has a song, too & we have it on CD! All of the kids picked their favorite letter and have been practicing for the past few weeks (Matthew doesn't even realize how many hours a day he has been actually "doing school" by listening to these songs)

Last night we celebrated John's birthday & it was complete with performances of many of the favorite letters and even a Mr. B ice cream cake - It was so much fun! I can't wait to see the footage on DVD (no pressure, Jim!)

Anyway, Matthew's favorite letter is Mr. M & I have posted his picture and song below...

MR. M
I'm Mr. M, with a munching mouth

My mouth must munch, munch, munch

My mouth has lunch, lunch, lunch

I munch from morning to midnight,

Midnight to morning, munching mouth,

I'm Mr. M

Meatballs, macaroni, mashed potatoes, I adore

Marshmallows, maple syrup, melon, milk,There's room for more...

For Mr. M with a munching mouth

My mouth must munch, munch, munch,

My mouth has lunch, lunch, lunch,

I munch from morning to midnight,

Midnight to morning, munching mouth, Meet Mr. M

Milkshakes, marmalade, mayonnaise, I adore,

Muffins, mushrooms, and molasses,

More and more and more and more!

I'm Mr. M with a Munching Mouth

My mouth must munch, munch, munch

My mouth has lunch, lunch, lunch

I munch from morning to midnight

Midnight to morning, munching mouth

I'm Mr. M, With a munching mouth

I'm Mr. M ~ MUNCHING MOUTH!
