It’s a nice Justin Timberlake song. Incase you wanted my opinion.
I think we started the day on a funny note...at 6 AM they were having a grunting contest. They were each taking turns, going for the loudest & longest grunt. Nope, no messy diapers. Just grunting!!
Today, my better half had a tough day. The childrens decided to exercise their first amendment rights to protest. And they did by screaming. Too bad we don’t know what they were protesting.
So, when I got home, me, Unter & Uber went for a walk to a local park. On the way there it was a bit bouncy, poor little Unter was getting jostled a bit since she was in the front. Uber had the more stable back seat, and he’s heavier, so it takes more to jostle him around. When we got to the park it was smooth riding. Until silly papa stopped the stroller to talk to someone (who told him twins is more difficult than ten children, her mom told her), but all was good when papa was rollin’ again.
They slept for most of the ride. Pro’lly ‘cuz they were all tuckered out from protesting all day.
But, on way home, going down the hill, little Unter seemed to have lots of fun. It was like a roller coaster! She’s just like her mommy.
They have different crying styles, my little girl goes for power, does the high pitch screach, and sometimes, it makes the eardrums reverberate. Very powerful.
My son, will sometimes go for distance, will scream until he’s red in the face. It used to seem that he would forget to inhale, but know, he just knows how to exhale for a long time.
So, my daughter has learned a new cry. Three short loud screams.
They cry when they need a diaper change. Which is good, helps keep their little butts clean.
They cry when hungry. Our girl will usually give us warning signs. She’ll fuss for 20 secons. Then root around for food for 15 more seconds. Then a low cry for 5 seconds, then the full on scream.
They cry when they want to be held and walked around. Or sometimes waltzed around. One good thing, I’m getting more opportunities to sing. So hopefully my vocal chops are improving. Still I’m not very good at making up lyrics. And I don’t know if Concrete Blonde songs are age appropriate.

I figured Everybody Hurts would be soothing..It is for me at least.

"when the sky has fallen
like a blanket on your shoulder
and the moon is like a mother
looking over you forever
and the dawn is so familiar
you were meant to be together
like a fog around a mountain - forever
so softly - so sweetly
surrounding you completely
sing you a lullabye - a lullabye to you
lullabye - a lullabye to you
when your breathing is the wind
and your crying is the rain
well i know you will remember
because the music is forever
the living of a lover -
and the loving of another
like a sister to a brother
like a father to a mother
so softly - so close to me
you're surrounding me so beautifully
lullabye - a lullabye to you"
