AND SPEAKING OF SINGING

I also made up a song for each of the boys so that they could learn to spell their names. Oddly, both boys like singing the song for the other kid! Obviously, the little tunes spell the name and then say the name. I don’t have musical notation here, but in case I someday forget, they go like this:

G – E – F – D – E – G – E – C (for S – A – M – U – E – L – Sam-uel) and
C – D – E – D – E –F – G – D – E – D – E – D – C (for B – E – N – J – A – M – I – N – Ben-ja-min)
