Horse—Malachy Doyle
Do some horse rhymes:
Rickety, rickety rocking horse
Rickety, rickety rocking horse,
Over the hills we go.
(Ride child on knee).
Rickety, rickety rocking horse,
Giddy-up, giddy-up, whoa!
(Gently rock child back in lap and hug child).
Trot, trot to Boston
Trot, trot to Boston,
Trot, trot to Lynne.
Look out (child’s name)
Don’t fall in!
10 Wild Horses
Ten wild horses came galloping through town.
Five were white, five were brown.
They galloped up, and they galloped down.
They galloped away and out of town.
Horsie, Horsie
Horsie, horsie, don’t you stop.
(Clip-clop hands on legs).
Just let your feet go clippety-clop;
Your tail goes swish,
(swish back and forth)
And the wheels go round—(roll hands)
Giddy-up, you’re homeward bound. (clap 3 times)

I am a Wonder Mommy! I wonder how to do everything I need to do. I wonder how to be a good mom to my kids. I wonder how to be a good wife. I wonder how to teach my kids good things. I wonder how long I can go without sleep...I wonder, I wonder, I wonder!
On this blog, I will share my ideas for an at-home preschool that I do with my children, ideas for surviving motherhood, library story time ideas, ideas for my various LDS callings, Family Home Evening ideas, and whatever other random ideas that I have. I borrow ideas from the world of great minds and will try to give credit as much as possible. Thanks for dropping by!
