Although "Wheels on the Bus" is pretty popular in our house, I think it's safe to say that "Old MacDonald" is Sofia's favorite song. She's been saying "E-I-E-I-O" for months, and she can now ask for the song by name. ("Ah DaDonald!") Our game these days is that I sing the song and she chooses the animals. So I sing,

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm he had a...

Cat
Car
Baby
Helicopter
Daddy
Goat
Mommy
Duck
Tree
Grandma
House
Phone
