  Be My Guest!

  Conor and I had finished breakfast together, and I had to use the restroom. To entertain him, I knew he liked songs- and I realised I had not tried to entertain him yet with my long repertoire of Disney songs! Well, that absolutely had to be corrected. So after finishing my business, in our bathroom surrounded by mirrors (Conor could see himself, and he loves that) I began singing and dancing with him to the song Be Our Guest from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Well, he was both delighted and at points a little baffled- all in all I think he had a wonderful time. I think foremost on his mind was Wow, I’ve never seen Daddy this crazy before…

  Well, we’ll have to do it again sometime. However, as an encoure to his giggles and happiness, I decided to do it again… only this time, as I sang to him, I recorded it.

  So, realising I will probably blush later, while I am still on the high of the fun, I shall post the song. At points you will notice a gap- that is usually because Conor started giggling or ‘singing along’ (which, for him, means loud “aaaaaaaaAAAAh” yells- not upset, just LOUD).
  

  As a side note- I did sing ALL of this from memory (that is, I learned it when I was still a kid, and I do still remember every word) with the exception of the long choral part at the end, where I did get ‘help’. If I get good feedback and you enjoy this, I might record other ‘conor songs’ or Conor moments I enjoy doing, like the ‘powdered buns’ song I sing everytime I change his diaper.

  EDIT: I will admit my voice isn’t in perfect form, it’s hard to focus on what you’re singing as well when you are dancing around with a baby and trying not to rip the mic out of the compooter.
