BeingSavvyJune 6, 2008
What's more fun than crooning 70's love songs to your preschooler?
Oh, that's right -- teaching your little one to sing along with you! Dooby doos and air piano, both optional. Delighting in your own little person's own-little-person-ness required.
"I said I love you, and that's forever.
This I promise from the heart:
I couldn't love you any better.
I love you just the way you are."
-- Billy Joel
P.S. For a deliciously Grouch-y version, check out this YouTube clip of Billy Joel, Marlee Matlin and Oscar singing their own riff on the song!
