Please don't bonk my head.

We're Driving!

To the tune of "Keep Walking" from the Veggie Tales' "Josh and the Big Wall":

We're driving
Cuz we have a lot to do
We're driving
And I'm having fun with you!
We'll do some things
And sing a song or two
Cuz we're driving
And I'm having fun with you!

You're a Baby.

To the tune of "Found a peanut":

You're a baby
You're a baby
You're a baby, just now,
Just now, you're a baby,
You're a baby
Just now.

Ode to Wilson.

Tiny little sweet, small man
Does the very best he can
With the tools he has at hand
I must be his biggest fan
(*let's review*)

Tiny little sweet, small guy
Always gives the college try
Even when he's not sure why
He's the apple of my eye

*"let's review" essentially means "repeat at will"

Violet's Song.

Sung to the tune of the chorus of "Daisy Bell":

Stinky, Stinky
Stinky-Butt-Pee-yew...
I think you're Stinky
Yes I really do
I'm gunna punch you in the belly
Be-cause you are so smelly
I think you're cute
Even when you poot
You Stinky-Butt-Pee-yew!

My Peeps.

Here are two of my three favorite people. I like them more and more!

Put simply, we are overcome with love for our little people. For whatever reason, these past days and weeks, Josh and I have marveled over our deepening affection for the two little stinky parasites who share our home. Weekends are particular joys, especially when they are like this past one. What did we do that was so special? Nuthin. We spent nearly all day at home, and when we did go out it was to run errands. It was a fabulous day.

Aren't they cute? We sure like them.

Take it to the Lemon... One More Time

Lately Wilson has a new favorite band--in addition to Buddy Holly, of course: The Eagles. He dances around the house, demanding "Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!" I don't think the Eagles even like the Eagles as much as he does. His favorite song right now is "Take it to the Limit", which, although some lines can be misinterpreted in the ears of a two-year-old (see post title), has a fun repetitive chorus. He also likes the Stray Cats well enough (mostly for dancing).

Violet is more of a Waterboys fan; I'm hoping this will translate someday into her being more into the Dropkicks than Baby Man is.

In any case, I'm looking forward to 20 years from now when Wilson is in some hipster Seattle band and I can remind him often of his early and deep love of the not-quite-so-hipster Eagles.
