I'm pretty sure you're right.  What Mozart wrote as a child were "Variations
on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

Larry, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Twinkle, Twinkle  
wasn't written by Haydn or by Mozart, but that Mozart did several  famous 
improvisations on old French lullaby originally entitled, "Ah, Vous
Dirai-Je 
Maman." Yes, the dominant seventh is in the original and used  extensively
in 
Mozart's variations. Mozart also threw in quite a few more.
