Okay, so this is a video of the song I did for Christian's 2nd birthday party, which was a Luau (I got the cool hula dress on eBay). As mentioned previously, I used the tune to "Happiness" from the musical, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" and rewrote the lyrics.
Ironically, I have never owned this song and kind of learned it on the fly from a random internet source, so I'm not even sure if I'm getting it right. I seriously need to nail it down if I'm going to be doing this every year, but for now, have mercy if I mess it up.
At one point off camera, Christian pulled a huge grin with squinty eyes when we sang about his "twinkly smile." So that's why everyone started laughing.
By the way, don't tell Eric that I posted this. He hates how I drag him into this every year. But I tell him that he needs to represent, and he's a remarkably good sport about it all.
Note: I do not consider myself a serious song writer. This is purely for purposes of love and memories. But Christian liked it and had me sing this to him before bed for months afterward. That's reward enough for me!
