Line 'Em Up

My husband and I love James Taylor. We have all of his music - from the old days until the present, we have been to see him in concert and live to see him again. His music has become, over time, the soundtrack of our life together. We especially love the Hourglass cd, it is played most often at the beach, while grilling out our dinner on the deck overlooking the wonderful displays of ocean meeting shore and setting sun providing a backdrop for seagulls to fly against. There is just something about the tones of the notes, the harmony of the words, just something about it makes us feel we are at the beach, even if we are home and it is dead of winter. Because of our love for this album, and his music in general, our daughter has developed a passion for it as well. One of her favorites on the album is the song "Line 'Em Up." Now, if you do not the music or the song it won't mean much - but just trust me on this - it was really cute to hear a 2 year old sing.

I was reminded of this song and of her love for it, this morning, as I wondered into her playroom and found this... she had lined her fisher price animals up and they were "taking turns" as she put it -jumping on the blocks. It was astoundingly funny to watch. She practiced last week at her gymnastics class for their end of the year Snowflake Showoff - and this morning, her animals were "practicing" for theirs. Too cute for words.

Thanks JT for inspiring this moment in my morning!
