This is the way we eat our breakfast/lunch/dinner
So early in the morning/afternoon/evening.
This is the way we change our diaper
So early in the morning/afternoon/evening.
This is the way we take a bath
So early in the evening.
This is the way we go to sleep
So early in the evening.
(Be sure to use your signs while singing.)
