My Favorite Things

This is the last day that I'll have with the girls before I start back to work full time tomorrow. I've known Libby Doodle Doo for only a little over a month, but I've carefully been observing what makes her happy and what makes her sad. I wanted to capture those observations today.

I'm notorious for changing the words to famous songs for Zo Peep (and now for the Libster, too). Here are new lyrics to that Sound of Music standout -- My Favorite Things. At least these are the words that I imagine Libby Doodle Doo would compose -- if she could write and if she could type (regardles of what the picture above may show).

My Favorite Things -- by Libby Doodle Doo

Sisters with bright smiles who tickle and giggle
Green colored Jell-O that wiggles and jiggles
Using my sippy to pound all my food
These are the things that create my good mood

Squirm like a worm when my mom changes clothe-ses
Take off my socks to reveal all my toe-ses
Snot running down from my nose to my mouth
These are some things that I can’t do without

Splashing at bath time in our kitchen sink
Taking a sip from my mommy’s warm drink
Cozying up to my grey elephant
These are the things that I hold sacrosanct.


When the bib comes
Round my neckline
And I’m getting mad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I feel real-ly glad

Pulling myself up to stand in my crib
Yanking and throwing that most-hated bib
Watching my sister as she dances a dance
These are the things that I can’t leave to chance

Giggling and smiling at mom’s funny faces
Challenge my sister to new crawling races
Sucking my thumb any time I am blue
These are the things that make me Doodle Doo

When that tissue
Wipes my wet nose
And I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad.
