The ABCs
More often than not, I take the Girl Child to daycare in the morning, as it's on my way to work, I have a car, and I never have anyone in labor to whom I must attend. We've been doing this for several weeks, now, and we've got our routine down pretty well.

Most days, she colors some and we talk about what she's going to do that day, or what she did the day before, or the dreams she's had recently. She asks for the driving song (Indigo Girls' Driver Education) and we dance and sing--I sing the words, she sings whatever words are on her mind.

Once we're at school and out of the car, we sing the ABCs while we walk, often stopping to jump in puddles or balance on curbs. Yesterday morning, the waning but close to full moon was in the sky. We were singing and she hollered, "Stop!" So we did, no more walking and no more singing, and she proposed that we sing our song to the moon.

And that is what we did.
