Spanglish songs

My mom was a teacher before she retired. She always was an excellent, hard-working, caring grade school educator. For quite a few years, she taught preschoolers and young kids. Thus, I grew up surrounded by Spanish kids’ songs, a lot of them! Also my 'abuela', who was a cheerful, loving lady, was singing all day long, kids songs most of the time. She sang beautiful, old songs that my mom and aunts always remember with love and share with the kids in the family.

So, as I was explaining, in my family we know maaany many songs. We know so many that it is pretty odd, I am telling you! When the Little Monkey was born and we started singing for him, Papa Monkey thought we were crazy for knowing so many. Although, I've got to say, a couple of months later, he knew all of them, and sang them... Let's say... His way? I won't mess with his singing skills again
