There is one song I remember my Gramps singing to me when I was a little girl, and now my mom and I both sing it to Eli. We tell him every time that Gramps used to sing this to us too. I'm not quite sure if he knows exactly what we are talking about but he definitely knows who Gramps is! His face lights up when we mention his (or Grams) name!
Grams & Gramps (and the whole Cali clan), here's some love from us to you!
Words: I love you, a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck,
A hug around the neck, and a barrel and a heap,
A barrel and a heap, and I'm talking in my sleep about you.
(You bet your pretty neck I do,
Doodle doodle doodle, doodle doodle doodle
Doodle doodle doodley doo - omitted by E)
I think if the videos were edited right, there would be a complete song in there somewhere. Just know that the tradition is being passed down and that we LOVE our Cali fam!
Very cool! Love you guys!
