Memorizing Rhymes

I LOVE nursery rhymes! Everyday without fail, I will hum some of the songs to myself while playing alone. Very often, I will also shove the nursery rhyme book to mummy and ask her to sing to me. Actually, I've had this book memorized from cover to cover! I can remember the sequences of almost all the rhymes that appear in it. Sometimes when mummy sings the songs randomly to me, I'll tell her "No, it's wrong. After Rhyme A, is Rhyme B, not Rhyme D!" Haha!

I have been singing and reciting parts of these rhymes as soon as I could talk, which was around 22 months. Now that I'm much older, I can sing and recite them in full, with a much clearer pronunciation, although I still mispronounce some words here and there. I will also mumble through the parts that I'm not sure of.

To date, I think I have memorized as many as 100 or more nursery rhymes, including some of the unusual and not so common ones, like this one called Solomon Grundy, which daddy hates. But mummy and I still like to sing it to annoy him. Haha!


I think he doesn't like the tragic ending and he hates to see the coffin. Mummy agrees that it's not very appropriate for kids too but we still sing it every time we reach this page. It is also featured in one of our kid songs CDs, which is why we know how to sing it.

Here's me singing Sing a Song of Sixpence, my favourite.
