Korean Kids Song Sunday: Where are your eyes? 눈은 어디 있나

So, based on recent news, I think we're going to be in this for the long haul.  I'm trying to prepare myself: the wait will be long. Maybe the wait won't be so long for the referral, but I believe we will be stuck for a loooooooooong while waiting for the Korean government to allow us to bring our child home.  My inclination is to be anxious, whine, cry out, "why?!?" and throw myself a pity party, but perhaps maybe I can attempt to be patient, productive and lean on the Lord and not on my own understanding during this process.



So, from now on, every Sunday will be Korean Kids Song Sunday and I'll post a new song. 


In continuing the body parts theme from the Eyes Eyes Eyes song, this song seem like a fun one to sing with little ones as they learn the names to the body parts.  It's also repetitive and easy to learn.  Summary: Where are your eyes? Right here! Where is your nose? Right here!








야후! 꾸러기 놀이


눈은 어디 있나? 눈은 어디 있나요? 코는 어디 있나요? 손은 어디 있나요?..


The song is the 2nd in this youtube video - the little girl in the middle is so cute!  (The third song is the Eyes Eyes Eyes song I posted, and did you recognize the last song?)








Words in Korean:

눈은 어디 있나요? 요기

코는 어디 있나요? 요기

귀는 어디 있나요? 요기

손은 어디 있나요? 요기
