A Kaboomzi-la NayNay

Some advice: don't ever make up a song for your kid unless you want to hear it repeated back. A lot. I made up a little song, without thinking much of it, which became an instant hit with Nathan. The lyrics, such as they are, go like this: "My Nathan is a cute, cute Nathan/ He's the cutest little Nathan that I know/ My Nathan is a sweet, sweet Nathan/ He's the sweetest little Nathan that I know". Other adjectives are substituted in for a longer song, continued until I run out of adjectives, then repeated. Nathan sings this to himself" "My NayNay is sweet, sweet NayNay/ is sweet NayNay ah know". He has also taken to making up his own verses: "My NayNay is a kiss kiss NayNay", and, adorably, "My NayNay is a rock music NayNay". Yesterday when his Grandma was watching him he slipped on the carpet and apparently she said "kaboomzi-la!" Nathan has decided he likes this new word and has been using it quite a bit this morning, even going so far as to sing "My NayNay is a kaboomzi-la NayNay"! He is certainly the most kaboomzi-la Nathan that I know.
