This song has become a favorite of Felix's. He learned it from listening to Renae and me sing it to him. The day after I took this this little video I found the original version on the internet. It's by Tom Glazer, from and album called Space Songs, released in 1959. Some of you may know this song from a They Might Be Giants cover.
We spent Thanksgiving Day in Puyallup at Felix's Aunt Rachael's house. What you see him holding in the picture is about what he ate for Thanksgiving. Maybe not quite that limited, but he wouldn't eat any Turkey. I worry about the nutrition he is not getting due to his picky eating; he won't even eat a kids multivitamin. It's gotten to where I have to crush his multivitamin in his cereal without him knowing. He'll read this some day- I pulled one over on you, son. Renae recently purchased the book "Deceptively Delicious", it's the book Jerry Seinfeld's wife is getting sued over. I think it's misnamed, I think it should be called "Deceptively Nutritious". Wouldn't that make more sense? What is the deal with... Never mind.
Natalie gave Felix an early Christmas gift:
They light up when he walks and they feature Transformers. Awesome.

Rooney won't take the multivit tabs either. He's supposed to take those because they have iron but only likes the gummi vites without. I'm surprised that you would crush them up & sneak them past Felix. Seems very against how you've been raising him. I think you should tell Felix right now you have been deceiving him & beg for his forgivness. He may give it to you...one day.
Nice singing Felix! I posted a TMBG version on my Facebook as well.
I know exactly how you feel about getting nutrition into Felix. I took you to the doctor over concern for the same thing. He said you were fine and healthy and not to worry, but to offer you nutritious food at each meal, give you adequate time to eat, then take the food away. Hence, the mixing bowl of cereal you ended up with at breakfast. But you did eat things I thought were odd for you to like, such as 12 grain bread with peanut butter and sprouts. That was probably fairly nutritious. I did not sneak vitamins into your food, so no forgiveness needed, although only because I either didn't think of it or couldn't afford them. I did deceive a couple of times on rabbit and venison, calling them chicken and beef respectively, although it isn't often that you find buckshot in chicken, so that was only once. Oh, and for a short time I said yogurt was ice cream and then realized you and Andrea had no negative feelings about yogurt so I dropped that deception. You could make a rule that he has to just take one taste of what is offered to confirm whether he likes it or not. Good luck! The singing is divine
can you send that to me? i want to post it on my facebook.
