So, school started and you actually posed for pictures after I promised you could also take my photo. No singing." You still tell me to stop singing in the car sometimes because, "someone else is already singing the song." You danced up a storm on the dance floor, which made me laugh thinking about when you were very small and would demand that people stop singing Happy Birthday at parties and catagorically refuse to dance. You and your cousins Avery and Birch all wore the same outfit and were the cutest things ever. Your dad and I rank somewhere around 10th or 11th place. The occasion for the trip was my sister Anne's wedding to her now husband, Tommy, which you were pretty thrilled about since Anne and Tommy are probably two of your favorite people in the world along with my parents and your other aunt and uncle Emelie and Isaiah. This was not due to any particular parenting tactic I employed, but simple because you will happily sit for hours watching videos in given the chance. With the exception of a brief bout with a stomach bug the night before we drive back to Utah, you were a champion traveler. We spent the last week of vacation in August in Californa after driving there for the first time ever. We went to Sun Valley and fished again together and you rode your bike around the hotel grounds ringing your bike bell and stopping at the candy store for candy, just like I had been dreaming of you doing since you were born. We went in adventures and hikes and to see the new polar bear exhibit at the Zoo, which we both loved.

We spent hours and hours at the pool this summer and you got braver about learning how to swim underwater. The summer was absolutely dreamy though and I've felt a little panicky as the leaves have swiftyly changed from green to red in the mountains and our driveway has a few more yellow leaves on it every morning. This is what is on it right now and almost anytime I play any of these songs you say, "Oh! This is (insert song title!) This is my favorite song! We haven't listened to this song in a long long time!" (even if we had just listened to it the previous day) And then without missing a beat you ask, "Mama, is it on repeat? Can we listen to it on repeat?" Without fail, this is your routine.Ī few weeks ago summer came to an end and you went back to school, which I was really happy about because you were a restless soul without the routine of class or camp and teachers keeping you in line. Your favorite songs are on a playlist I have put together for you. Five days after it had actually happened.Īnd, back to the music.

You are always listening and filing things away to tell me about later - like the time you told me that a kid in your class thew up his pizza lunch. Now whenever I have NPR on you ask questions and I sometimes have to turn the radio off because it is very hard to explain to you why something terrible happened in world events. Then the halcyon days of NPR came when I could listen to Morning Edition and not have to worry about you overhearing the news and then asking tough questions about tragic world events. Keep reading to see me build mine quickly, and shop some of its most popular configurations.In the early, early days I would often be reduced to singing Old MacDonald Had A Farm because it was literally the only thing that would stop you from screaming in the car. I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone I know. It looks good, feels sturdy, and is just truly a winner all around in my book. The design is throughly thought out and smart. All you do is screw the legs into the bottom in predrilled holes, and it's ready to go. It arrived in just a few days, and the best part: I put it together in less than five minutes without any tools.

The style fits perfectly into my neutral-colored space. I chose the round option in birch wood with white legs. It comes in a number of wood and metal finishes, in both a round and rectangle shape. Naturally, its bestselling table was next on my wish list from the brand. I love Floyd furniture for many reasons, mostly for their cool and functional designs that have a minimal element to them that just speak to me. There's one that had been on my wish list for a long time, so it was pretty much immediate that I knew it was the one. Not only because it would tie my large living space together, but also because I spend most of my days working from it, so it's a necessity.
