French lessons from Raffi

Connor loves Raffi. I mean loves loves loves. He'll listen to Raffi all the live long day.

I don't mind. There are certainly worse children's singers out there and his songs are fun and he's got a pretty soothing voice.

Connor loves the number 5 too. I'm not sure where it came from but when he's putting his CD's on in his room he always skips ahead to number 5 and then hits repeat. If I am putting a CD on for him he asks me for number 5. Song number 5 on the "One Light One Sun" CD (my personal Raffi favorite) is "Fais Do Do". It's a french song about a girl telling her brother to go to sleep so he can get treats. His mom is making cake and his dad is making chocolate.

Connor knows the words to the song. It's kind of cute to hear him singing them. (though he's shy and only sings when he thinks we can't hear him or see him)
I guess I should be happy. Connor is getting an early French lesson. But God help me, I know I've heard enough of it when I am able to translate it with my crappy 9th grade French ability.
