Teamwork

This boy is such a helper...sometimes too good. He vacuumed everywhere I vacuumed so it sometimes felt like a competition since both vacuums could not exist in the same spot.

Musical Talents.....

I caught this girl singing Taylor Swift today......she sang, "kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain..." from 'Sparks Fly'.

Oh boy!

Somebody get this girl some music lessons cause she clearly is musically inclined.

Speaking of music....
this boy will NOT stay still for a diaper change unless you sing the 'doggy' song to him. I guess he likes music too.

Seriously, at the doctor's office, he screamed more for being laid on his back than he did for his shot.

The Doggy Song
(my mom sang it to my kids-so we picked up on it)

"Once I had little dog, he used to sit and beg,
one day he tumbled down the stairs and broke his little leg,
oh, doggy, I will nurse you and try to make you well,
and you will wear a collar with a pretty silver bell."


Sing it to your babies, it will make them sleep. It will distract them from fussing at 3 am. It will hold them still long enough to wipe their bums before they stick their hand in poo.
You're welcome.
