We spent the day today with Amy K and Caden, Sally and Francis. The moms had a yummy lunch and the kids had fun hanging out (if you can call what Ben does--drooling, crying, cooing--hanging out). Benjamin took one of his first 1.5 hour naps for me at Amy's house. This was wonderful!
One of my favorite memories of the day was being stuck in traffic with Sally, Francis, and Ben...He can usually only tolerate about 30 minutes in the car without melting down. At about 45 minutes and being in bumper-to-bumper traffic, he started to get what we call "cranked up." The only thing that seems to work for us temporarily, is to sing. So, Sally and I, in our best singing voices, began recalling every childhood song we could remember. Benjamin did calm down for awhile listening to our renditions of Old Macdonald, Jingle Bells, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, etc. We had some good laughs as we remembered songs we haven't sung in many years (especially some of the songs from Sunday School!). We wonder if some of the songs we knew are still being taught like Deep and Wide, I am a C, and Oh, You Can't Get to Heaven. Hmmm. I guess we'll have to wait and see! College roommates and old friends are the best. I am so glad we live close by, Sally! Its such a treasure to have you as a part of my daily life! You know I love you more than my luggage...this is why Francis is an excellent choice as bachelorette number 3.
