Children's water song?
Translation probably got lost along the way, but when DH dropped Alex off at school today the teachers said that Alex just adores this one particular children's song about water. Dh said that she's obsessed with wheels on the bus, but they corrected him and said that that was weeks ago  
Anyone know what in the world he could be talking about?

Re: Children's water song?
Is it in Hebrew? There is a song I used to love as a kid: Mayim, Mayim
Hebrew Lyrics:
U-shavtem mayim b'sasson mimynay ha y'shu-ah
U-shavtem mayim b'sasson mimynay ha y'shu-ah
Mayim mayim mayim mayim - hey mayim b'sasson
Mayim mayim mayim mayim - hey mayim b'sasson
Hey hey hey hey
Mayim mayim mayim mayim mayim mayim b'sasson
Mayim mayim mayim mayim mayim mayim b'sasson
English Translation:
With joy shall you draw water from the wells of deliverance.

Ohhh yeah, that's a distinct possiblity - one of her teachers is Israeli. I'll have to ask her on Monday!

Yeah, you dance around in a circle and when you say "mayim mayim" you go into the circle and then come out again. google it and you can hear the tune. play it for Alex and see if she responds.

I think that's it - Gadi was saying the teacher said that Alex loves this dance they have for the song and keeps asking for it! I'm going to play it for her tonight, thanks!!

oh yes - this one is definitely a fun one - and then after, you sing "Hey Hey Hey Hey, mayim mayim mayim mayim..." clap, and do this scissor jumping thing with your legs!!! I remember this one!
