During Luke’s speech therapy, he and his therapist often sing songs together. Songs like “the wheels on the bus” and “itsy bitsy spider”. A couple weeks ago we brought in our own CD, the “party like a preschooler” CD by Go Fish. Which by the way are an awesome group, if you are looking for kid songs with positive themes and a Godly message…look no further. Go Fish take regular songs like “Itsy Bitsy Spider” and turn it into an upbeat and fun time!!
So we brought our CD in to share. And here we are partying along with the Go Fish Guys…and we start singing “If you’re happy”. You know the song…. “If you’re happy and you know it…clap your hands…clap clap…” and so on. Well in this version one verse says, “If you’re happy and you know it…shout Wooo Hooo….” So the second time Luke and his therapist sang through this, we hear a “Wooo Hoo” come through the wall. What was that?? Both Luke’s therapist and I looked at each other…and his therapist started laughing and said, “who could be over there?” Next door there is a conference room, so any number of people could be next door listening and “joining” in.
When we were leaving the therapist’s room that day, we stopped at the room next door. Who did we find? It was one of the doctors who sees patients at Easter Seals (the therapy facility we go to now). So we invited this good doctor to always join in whenever he wanted. He told us it was just too hard to resist we were having such a good time.
Who says therapy can’t be fun for everyone!!
