Bah Bah Business Sheep

Maxime’s favourite nursery rhyme which we have to sing to him when he goes to bed is Bah Bah Black Sheep. Often he won’t settle without at least 3-4 renditions of it, including a solo from both Mum and Dad in some sort of mini sing-off (he’s been watching too much X-Factor me thinks). This little tradition has seemed to have established itself over the Christmas holidays. That was all well and good however since the start of January I have had to start travelling for work again. Maxime seems to consider that the fact I am not actually at home in the evening should not actually prevent him from getting his lullaby. As a result I often find myself sitting next to well clad businessmen in planes singing Bah Bah Black Sheep down my Blackberry to a rather happy little 2 year old. I readily admit that there are often a few raised eyebrows and not just because I often sing out of tune. I suppose it’s a conversation starter with my fellow travellers if nothing else.
