'If I Were a Butterfly'

Dearest Ruby,
       Mummy has just started taking you to Baby Ballet and apparently you so enjoy it. You definitely have a natural ability to dance to the rhythm of the music. So, I had an idea for when you next came round and have rediscovered a song that Mummy so loved to dance and do the actions to, when she was a little girl. I have even found some butterfly wings for you to wear for fun and can take home with you.

 

So, today was the day for our little bit of 'fun-time', and the sun is shining.

 

Oh, you like your butterfly wings.

 

 

I love your summer sandals. They so suit the part.

 

 

  So, here we go with,

 

'The Butterfly Song'

 

If I were a butterfly

I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings

If I were a robin in a tree

 I'd thank you Lord that I could sing

If I were a fish in the sea

I'd wiggle my tail and giggle with glee

But I just thank you Father for making me, me

 

CHORUS

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile

You gave me Jesus and you made me your child

And I just thank you Father for making me, me

 

If I were an elephant

I'd thank you Lord by raising my trunk

If I were a kangaroo

You know I'd hop right up to you

If I were an octopus

I'd thank you Lord for my fine looks

But I just thank you Father for making me, me

 

If I were a wiggly worm

I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm

If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear

I'd thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair

If I were a crocodile

I'd thank you Lord for my great smile

But I just thank you Father for making me, me

Down the garden, dancing to the music

 

 

We are following close behind, singing along with you.

 

Round in a circle....

 

 

oops, you are getting a little dizzy...

 

 

Look, Mummy is joining in :-)

 

Back on the garden path...

Definitely enjoying this.

 



 

     Well, you are off to your Ballet class now Ruby. Have fun !!
