I played a copy of a tape that was made when I was 18 months old, singing that very verse, for my daughter. She didn't seem too impressed!

But today is a sunny, humid day. Compared to last spring which was cool and gray, this year we have had many gorgeous "outdoor days" which is ever so helpful when trying to allow a certian four-year-old to expend her seemingly boundless energy!

I am somewhat saddened as next week is her last week of school. Also, I don't have any information on the days and times she will be attending preschool next year, but that usually is sent out to the parents in June or July. I have been nothing but thrilled with the preschool program she attended - it was a perfect "fit" for her and the special issues she was dealing with at the beginning of the school year. She has grown SO much, physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. She went from being considered a "problem child" to "gifted" (words used by school teachers/admnistrators)  so it demonstrates to me that the classroom setting was right for her to overcome her behavior issues and really blossom into an amazing kid.

We just came in after lunching on the patio, and relaxing in the "family size" wading pool. I just love water. Pools, oceans, lakes...and thankfully my little one shares my aquatic enthusiasm. In a week-and-a half we'll be headng out east to visit family and spend time at the Jersey shore. The ocean and inlet will likely still be too cold for much swimming, but my folks' townhouse complex has a lovely pool so that should be a nice compliment to the beach time.

I felt so "macho" today, as the humidity was too much to bear in the house, even with windows open. I hauled one window a/c unit out of the crawlspace, up the stairs, balanced it ever-so-deftly in the bedroom window and voilia! A much-improved indoor climate. Hubby said he'd help install the other two units tonight, so that will ensure comfortable environs for all. We had comtemplated investing in central air but our small ranch house stays cool with just two window units, and the basement family room is cool year-round, so it'd be something of a waste of money and effort.  Certainly if we ever build an addition on this house, then we'd add in the the central air but for now, I'll roll up my sleeves, flex my muscles, brace my back, and haul the window unit into position for another season!
