POD started nursery in January 2012 so not long after her first Christmas Day birthday.
We were delighted the day she said “Baa Baa”. Convinced it was the beginnings of Baa Baa Black Sheep, we put our singing voices to the test and joined in. POD looked at us blankly but I put this down to the fact she’d not been talking long. And I can’t sing.
A few weeks later a friend told us Baa Baa Black Sheep wasn’t sung at all anymore. Times had changed and the 1731 nursery rhyme had been replaced with Baa Baa White Sheep. Realising there might be some confusion over sheep colour, the POD Father quizzed nursery staff:
“Just out of interest, what colour sheep do you sing?”.
The response was pink. “Baa Baa Pink Sheep” had been the reply. Utterly baffled by the changes that had occurred since our childhood we looked up the words so we could do a comparison. And learn about pink sheep.
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep Have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full; One for the master And one for the dame And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane Baa Baa Pink Sheep, Have you any spots? Yes sir, yes sirLots and lots!
Some on my fingers,
and some on my toes!
Some on the end of my little pink nose!
We’ve not really put much thought into Black/White/Pink/Rainbow Sheep since that time. Until yesterday. The results in this short video speak for themselves. Sorry about the snort at the end.

So this week’s magical moment is POD singing Baa Baa Black Sheep and Baa Baa Pink Sheep, learning the word bosh and sharing some chicken love.

How precious she is
She is hilarious. I really shouldn’t find the video as funny as I do!!!
I absolutely love it, I am still in shock that a sheep can be pink is it not political correctness gone wrong.?? but hey that’s just my opinion I love the video she is a star! xx

It’s ridiculous isn’t it, POD is so confused! Funny video though. Well done with Magic Moments,it’s been brilliant 🙂
