about

You can't beat bath time with your kid. It’s cute and any grime they’ve accumulated during the day goes down the drain. Fabulous! So, bath time is mostly a win-win situation unless you try to wash their hair. I love the after-the-bath drying off part when you can turn your kid into a little burrito with a dry towel. With the towel, you warm them up and then release them. They turn wild – dancing around until they suit up in pjs for their nightly adventures. During this part of our day, I began singing, “Naked Boy! What are your Super Powers?” And then invent lyrics, ". . . you can run really fast, you can jump really high." Here’s the polished version of the song. Kaden came up with the rhythm for this at bedtime one night.

lyrics

Naked Boy!
What are your super powers?
You can run really fast
You can jump really high
You can swim like a fish
Naked Girl!
What are your super powers?
You can spin all around
You can lift heavy things
And make a huge splash

Pjs and cape
Ready to go-go-go-go
So incognito
Dashing all over
You’ve got work to do
The dog and cat
Don’t recognize you
Evade your mom
Bypass your dad
It’s time to go ---- oooooooo

Take your towel – dry off now!
Bathtime is done! Superhero ruuuuunnnnnn!

Naked Boy!
What are your super powers?
It’s time for bed
Just one more book
Then dad is off the hook

Naked Girl!
What are your super powers?
You can brush your teeth
Then get to sleep
Mom needs you to crash . . . like an ocean wave . . .

It’s not so bad
To stay up late-late-late-late
Parental foes
They’ll just say,
“Don’t procrastinate!”
But it is time
for bed-ed-ed-ed-ed-hed
You’ve fought the good fight
Turn out the light
It’s time to go ---- oooooooo

Under the covers -- disappear
Use your magic to chase your fears -- Goodnight!

Naked Kids!
What are your super powers?
You can run really fast
You can jump really high
You can swim like a fish
Naked Kids!
What are your super powers?
You can spin all around
You can lift heavy things
And make a huge splash

Pjs and cape
Ready to go-go-go-go
So incognito
Dashing all over
You’ve got work to do
The dog and cat
Don’t recognize you
Evade your mom
Bypass your dad
It’s time to go ---- oooooooo

Time to recharge -- Tomorrow will come
For you to use --
your Super Powers!
