Singing Time.

I went into Ruby's classroom today and did singing time. No wonder Mom did this so often in our school! You are a celebrity when you walk into that classroom! The teacher sits at the back of the classroom with an obvious jealous look on her face.

I taught them "Old Mrs. Witch" and "One Little Skeleton".

It was so fantastically fun! I am going again in two weeks. I love that Mom taught music to us and that we can pass it onto the kids. Between vision screening and kindergarten testing, their day can get pretty dull.

Oh, and Mom, I left a print out of the words with the teacher in case she wanted to sing them next week sometime. I turned in my badge to the office, and when I walked back past the classroom on my way home, they were singing One Little Skeleton!

Here's to being the celebrity!! yahoo!!!!

A Boy

Cuddled deep within his precious mother dwells the first cousin to challenge the plumbing of the day. The wardrobe will be all brand new. He will lead the pack of cousin Eagle Scouts (I hope). The six den mothers before him will require a fair amount of navigating on his part. But for now he is safe.

Safe from the world and its harshness.
Safe from the violence of breathing and hunger.
Safe from self-esteem issues.
Safe from worry.

Thank you to the vessel who carries him. You are the fourth Medley mother. Welcome to the lovely sorority so warm and embracing. Your delightful personality will make a happy and loving young Medley boy.
