The Age of Egocentricity

All the parenting books say that toddlers are egocentric... and oh, how true that is! Beth is so busy learning about the world from her point of view... everything revolves around her... and nothing illustrates this more perfectly than the way she sings some of the songs she's learnt from Playschool.

There is a song that goes like this -

The more we are together,
Together, together
The more we are together,
The happier we'll be.

For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we are together,
The happier we'll be.

Except Beth sings the second verse like this -

For your friends are my friends
And my friends are *MY* friends
The more we are together,
The happier we'll be.

No sharing any of Beth's friends here!

There is also this other cute song that Beth has learnt from Playschool that goes like this -

It's so nice to have a cuddle with a person that you love
Feels so good to have a snuggle with a person that you love
When I'm happy or in trouble I run fast right on the double
Just to sit and have a cuddle with a person that I love

Except her version goes like this -

It's so nice to have a cuddle with a person that loves me
Feels so good to have a snuggle with a person that loves me
When I'm happy or in trouble I run fast right on the double
Just to sit and have a cuddle with a person that loves me

LOL... she is so funny... And here's a couple of videos to that capture her singing snippets of that second song... she's a bit silly in the second video!
