Peter has a song. When he was little I changed the words to Bingo and used his name instead:
I know a boy who is so sweet and Peter is his name-o
P-E-T-E-R
P-E-T-E-R
P-E-T-E-R
And Peter is his name-o!
I think this song is one reason Peter could spell his name at such a young age.
Cooper's name has proved more difficult. Who knew that one extra letter would throw such a wrench into my lyrical ambitions. Today though, I hit name-spelling gold. Think of a certain blue, furry monster with a serious cookie addiction:
C is for Cooper
C-O-O-P-E-R
C is for Cooper
C-O-O-P-E-R
C is for Cooper
C-O-O-P-E-R
Oh! C-O-O-P-E-R spells Cooper!
C-O-O-P-E-R spells Cooper!
I know, it's simple, but the timing of his name was perfect. And now maybe when we ask him how to spell Cooper he won't say "P-E-T-R."

im haveing trouble matching the toon to the representation to the post
you should send me a video of cooper singing it
well if its not overwhelming in your zombified state which im sure could prove a hindrance to that request
you guys are so awsome
That's clever!! Good job!
I didn't do a song for my boys (they are not in to songs) (I *know*) but I did "chunk" their names and say it in the same rhythm each time:
L, O. G-A-N.
and
J-O-S. H-U-A.
That seemed to help, too. I guess that's almost a song, without the notes.
I should do it with our address and phone number now -- Logan still doesn't know them.
