He bounces very fast, as he counts to 10.

Wave it high, wave it low,
Throw it high!

We wave our leaves together, together,
We wave our leaves together, together,
We wave our leaves together,
Because it's fun to do!

Literacy tip of the week: Songs like "The Freeze" are a great way to teach self regulation. This will come in handy when your child is learning to read!
