My great grandmother would play a record for us that had this song that taught you the days of the week. It was super repetitive, which is probably why all of my family still sings it decades later. This little boy would ask his mom, “Is today my birthday?” and she’d say, “No, today is Monday,” and he’d reply, “Monday?” and she’d answer, “Monday.” Then they’d move on to Tuesday, and so on and so forth. Apparently the kid’s birthday was on Saturday, so when they got to Saturday we were all relieve for this poor kid who just wanted it to be his birthday so badly. Well, today is my birthday, and it’s Saturday.

I absolutely love watching Avery and Lily playing on their own. It’s so funny how kids just get into their own little worlds and do weird stuff. I sat at my desk this morning and snapped these pictures of them at play.

What do we have here? I know I inspected this shelf yesterday, but I must check again.

Ah Ha! A bin full of something

I need to hold on to this.

Hmm, this requires closer inspection

Yep, this is a good place to be.

I’m just going to lay my head back.

Maybe I’ll take a load off.

Oh No! This is not as comfortable as I expected.

Avery wants in on the action.

I too must find something interesting on this shelf.

A block!

I’m outta here. That chick has knocked me upside the head with a block before.

Let me do a taste test.

Ooh, a little off balance this morning.

Yep, I’m back in control.

Hey, you there!
