Santa Time with Toddlers: A Holiday Song Collection Not Found in Stores

Stinky Diapers
(Sung to the tune of “Silver Bells”)

Stinky diapers, leaky diapers, hanging down at her knees,
How I wish I’d remembered the wipes.
But I didn’t, and I’m stranded in an airport bathroom
And I’m thinking of using my hands.
Dirty buns...
Were those beans?
I think I have aged 15 years.
Dirty buns...
Boy I’m dumb...
Both of us now are in tears.

Rudy the Snot-Nosed Toddler
(Sung to the tune of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”)

Rudy the snot-nosed toddler
Always had a runny nose
And every time you saw him,
You would wish he’d learn to blow.

All of the kids around him
Got his cold when they would play
Rudy the red-nosed toddler
Sickened all his friends this way.

Then one chilly Christmas Eve
His parents got a clue
Let’s leave poor young Rudy home
When he’s got the flu.

Now, Rudy feels much better
And my gosh, his friends do too
Rudy the snot-nosed toddler
Your parents made a wise breakthrough.

Will you eat this lovely dinner?
No, no, no, no, no -- no – no – no – no!
Do you want to go to bed?

Can you answer with a “Yes, mom?”
No, no, no. No, no. No – no – no – no!
Ain’t it great to have a toddler?
No, no, no, no, no -- no – No – Well, Yes.
