He Loves This Boy

My dad has a special song for each of his grandchildren. By special, I mean he takes an existing song, uses the same tune and changes the words for each child. Marshall's song is to the tune of "Hey There Delilah." I didn't even know my dad knew that song! The words go something like this...."Hey there my Marshall we have waited for so long for you to come...out in the sun. And you have such a handsome face, I'll show you from place to place uh huh. Oh yes I will. Oooooohhhh...you're such a handsome boy, ooohhh, just like a little toy." I think you get the idea. There is more but I honestly don't know all of it...yet. I am sure I will learn.

Scott's dad also has a song that Marshall seemed to enjoy when I-Pa came to visit. While it is not a song specifically designed for Marshall, it is much easier to learn. His song is to the tune of "Macho Man." The words go somehting like this...."I-Pa, I-Pa man. I want to be your I-pa man. I-pa, I-Pa man......(and repeat)" Marshall is looking forward to hearing I-Pa sing the I-Pa song at Christmas time.

We love that both our fathers love this little boy the way they do. Thanks Pop and I-pa for your crazy little songs.





While Marshall doesn't look thrilled about my dad singing to him, he really does love it.





Stay tuned for pics of I-pa singing to Marshall.
