This is the rhyme my son and I could be found singing as I wrote an assignment this afternoon. After I was having trouble finding information on Pitocin in my many pregnancy books, I started to hum the rhyme while I searched various indexes. Before long my two year old joined in, becoming the first child who can Pitocin and Oxytocin before his own name I suspect. The Ch sound is apparently hard to manage at 2 and a half, apparently oxytocin and pitocin is not, go figure.
My son is less than impressed that I am studying and spends most the time when I attempt (foolishly) to do assignments when he is awake haunting my shoulders and back As in climbing on and off my shoulders and the occasionally sabotage attempt as well by snatching the keyboard. i generally try to do my study in the afternoon after we've done something in the morning together, today we went for two walks before I attempted to do the terminology assignment. Despite this he still isn't taking to quite reading time well.
Oh well, at least he knows what P and O stand for now. He is also enjoying all the new books with pictures of babies in them. He quite likes babies in theory, not so in practice I suspect as he doesn't much like to share his mummy with his daddy let alone another small human.
