Today was the big time!! Every single day of Anderson's life he has heard the Taylor Swift song, "The Best Day" sung in my awesomely tone deaf voice. It is our favorite. If you have never heard it, here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=memsP8-k5Ew It is to her mom, which doesn't really apply to me because I am singing it to my son, but every day with him IS the best day, so therefore we make it work. Anyway, the first verse is about how they are at a pumpkin patch & it is the best day.For 9 months, we have discussed this pumpkin patch situation in song form & today we saw it in real life! Nicole & I were singing parts of it the entire time we were there. Almost like a "twin language".
Our outing was not exactly the same as Taylor Swift's childhood. The song mentions it being cold, which clearly was not the case today as we sweated our way through the corn. Anderson lost the overalls & rocked the lumberjack onesie look.
"I hear you laugh & look up smiling at you, I run & run..." (Ok, so he is not looking up at me & he is not quite to running yet, but you get the idea)
"...past the pumpkin patch..."
"...and the tractor rides..."
"I hug your legs & fall asleep on the way home. "
There is no mention of sand in the song, but this was maybe his favorite part.
He also had a pretty good day at Sams' last week! In addition to fun samples, he played in the giant stuffed animal box. I am not really sure that this is allowed, but nobody stopped us so we went for it.
I was trying to get a smiling picture but he started sinking into the fluffiness. I should have stopped and pulled him out, but I didn't.
Thank goodness for Noni who rescued him! I think I was distracted by the fact that these cost $50!! If someone has so much disposable income that they can spend a weekly grocery budget on a giant caterpillar, I am seriously concerned.

Seriously, I tried to do this and it didn't get nearly the same response. I think it is because she made him his cute tie shirt. And, possibly because he knows that she has that ball pit in her house.
It was the best day ever.... We had a blast.. The video of him laughing is still contagious and makes you laugh.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all you have turned into a true mom imagining how your days will be and setting them to a song. It looked fun. I love his laughing fits!!
ReplyDeleteHe loves his Aunt Cole. Also, he wants to thank you for giving him your eyes.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I had to miss it! It looked amazing, which was like the rest of the weekend for me. I love spending time with you, nicole, moosh, pops and the sweet babies! Thank you so much for having me over! And maybe some day that song won't be like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I do love Taylor Swift....maybe more once I have bambinos!
ReplyDeleteThe progression of pictures with him sinking into the box of animals is hilarious!!! So cute! We will have to try that next time at Sams. Also, the first picture with the cousin is a framer - so cute :)
