If you read my post from yesterday, you already know that I usually never write on weekends, but I feel like I have to make an exception to catch up.

Weekends are for family around here.

That's why yesterday I shared one of my big guy's favorites. Seems only fair to share one of the little guy's favorites.

They always say that babies listen to the outside sounds when they are in the belly. In the last months of pregnancy, I listened to a lot of Dutch Carnival music (singing along is a great way to practice a language!), so when the little guy was out and I didn't know any kids' songs, I sang those to him instead.

Now he seems to recognize and enjoy them.

For context, the song is a wordplay between the expression "ladderzat" (to be wasted) and "ladders zat" (plenty of ladders).

Life can be hard when
All you want is to get high:
Get a good ladder
