Today was an okay day. It started with a cancellation of some things I was really looking forward to, because one of the boys got sick in the car on the way to school. He recovered quickly and is fine now, btw.
Anyhow, I was in the kitchen preparing a snack for Ollie this afternoon when I heard his older brother singing. It’s not uncommon for him to sing, but I noticed he was singing the folding song. I looked over and he had started folding the dishtowels and washrags for me. It was such a sweet surprise of a moment. I thanked him and he said, “I love folding, Mom.” I guess sometimes it pays off to not fold the laundry the minute it comes out of the dryer?
Such a simple little act really made my day.
Butterfly so high.
Butterfly so high.
Folding together,
Friends forever.*

*We learned this song from Ms. Helen at our school. It’s such a sweet little song! It’s extra lovely when they sing it while folding playsilks. It’s repeated until the folding is done.

Oh how sweet, thank you for sharing! You have the best help, EVER!!!!!! What a moment!
