"I've Been Working on the Railroad" has been running through my head today. What a song! We haven't sung it to PC yet, but there's time. I have many good memories of this song---the extended Achter family used to sing it together after big family dinners sometimes. Along with "Someone's In the Kitchen With Dinah."** With harmonies, of course.
Thinking about these singalongs, which still happen occasionally, brings to mind the wonderful news that Cousin Julie and Neil are expecting. Woohoo!
And they've got themselves a primo pre-natal nickname: The Landino Bambino. Look out, Prince Clementine!
Special thanks to my wonderful cousin for the hoodie PC wears in this picture. Here's wishing you health and happiness.
**after further review, it appears these songs are one in the same.

The railroad song is definitely a family tradition. We sang it most when the kids were toddlers. They seem to love to break into song at that age.

good news! It's great because it can be sung in a round.
And we look forward to singing along with PC ... right now he's a very interested audience (he drops everything to listen and watch) but we can only imagine the fun of teaching words and melodies.
