This is an old photo from when we had an extra child from a few weeks back. The reason I'm posting it today is that I just remembered I took this video of them singing lullabies and rocking their "babies" together. As you can see, one takes primary responsibility for the "rocking" part and the other handles the "singing." But I think that's just because every time I'm with the Other Child, during the first twenty-four hours she refuses to speak to me in anything above a whisper. Note to self: see if you can transfer that skill to work on people in the neighborhood and colleagues at work.



I finally sat down to listen to the song The Caterpillar is singing.

Here are the lyrics:

"Rock-a-bye in the treetop
well all fall
the shark will fall and we sing with the flowers.
Sharks,
mouths,
sharks,
mouths,
sharks,
mouths,
sharks,
mouths.

I'm not sure how I should take this, but I think that all signs point to the fact that I maybe, possibly need to turn off the Discovery channel during Shark Week.
