Happy Birthday Tias!
Today is a day to celebrate. It is my little godson's 4th birthday. I really hope he likes the Spiderman helicopter and the Batman sunglasses we gave him, and that his mother (whose birthday was yesterday) appreciates the fact that we refrained from giving him violent toys.
In honor of Mattias and the days when he was just a little tyke, I thought I'd share with you the song that has become affecionately known as "Mattias' Song." This song was written by Mattias' mother shortly after his birth. I can testify that it was the only thing that would calm him down on many an occasion. The words are sung to "If you like pina colodas..."
"If you like nursing at midnight,
And walks in a sling.
If you like baby giraffes,
And bright beads on a string."
"Well I'm Baby Mattias,
And I love all these things.
If you wanna hook up,
Just give me a quick ring."
(verses 2 and 3 were added after a trip to the grocery store, where two-month old Mattias flirted with every female in sight)
"I hang out at the grocery,
Flirt with the girls in the line.
I tell them my name is 'Tias,
And they tell me I'm fine."
"And my mama buys milk tea,
Because I like to eat.
First one side then the other,
And my joy is complete."
"Well, I'm Baby Mattias,
And I'm cute and I'm sweet.
Just give me a quick ring,
And maybe we'll meet."
Happy Birthday, Mattias! We love you!!!

Refraining from violence ... there's a theme for any parent with children under the age of five. The forks at the breakfast table? Reasonable substitutes for harpoons. The hand-knit blanket bestowed upon birth? Handy in a pinch for smothering small animals. Batman glasses with uber-cool screened graphics on the lenses? Whirling frames of fury intended to startle and disable.
