Song: “Bouncing, Bouncing, Baby on My Knee”
Bouncing, bouncing, baby on my knee.
Bouncing, bouncing, 1 – 2 – 3!
Clapping, clapping, baby on my knee.
Clapping, clapping, 1 – 2 – 3!
Rocking, rocking, baby on my knee.
Rocking, rocking, 1 – 2 – 3!

Rhyme: Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John
Went to bed with his sweatpants on;
One shoe off, and one shoe on,
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John.
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my little Sue
Fell asleep in her jeans so blue.
One shoe old, and one shoe new.
Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my little Sue.

Flannel: Hearts
Hearts, hearts, how many do I see?
Hearts, hearts, count them with me.
I have a red one, orange one, yellow one too.
I have a green one, purple one, and one that is blue.
I have a pink one, brown one, and one that is white.
And one last valentine as black as the night.
Hearts, hearts, how many do I see?
Hearts, hearts, count them with me.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.
