The title of this post is what my mom would sing to me and my siblings when our patience was not what it should have been. And now that I have been a nanny, and now a mom...I can hear my mother when I sing it too.
We taught our oldest boy how to say "please" in sign language. When I sing the patience song to him he will stop fussing and start signing...he thinks he's getting food :-)
As I teach our children about patience, and how to handle things not going their way. I have a daily, sometimes several times a day, reminder of the need in my own self for patience. Patience with my boys, my husband, and life in general. And, believe me this is something that is being exercised daily right now. I expect to have my patience muscles worked out until I look like one of those body builders, figuratively :-), by the end of this season in our life.
