As we had quite a few February birthdays, the kids were keen to talk about them. They were sooooooo excited about their birthdays. They told us at the drop of a hat when their birthday, their brother’s birthday, or Kayla down the street’s birthday was. They are learning about time all the while they are saying, “My birthday was yesterday,” and “My birthday’s next week,” sometimes having no relation to when the child’s birthday really is. Bliss! Living in a world where time is of no consequence. Speaking of time, this old favourite seems to have endured throughout the years.

Happy Birthday to You.

Disregarding the lawsuits, it has fallen into the realm of “Tradition” and I love to hear and sing it. However, I think there is room for new content on that front. I am proposing to write a Happy Birthday Song just for fun. I’ll try not to make it a blues, rock, country or, in fact, any genre related version. I feel confident you will give me your honest opinion on this new “work of art.” Anyone else’s version of a Birthday Song, with their permission, will be posted on my blog.

Happy Writing!
