Year 5, Day 245: Name That Song 5!

As we were driving to get dinner, Miles requested some music. "You know that song 'I Want a Mom'?" "Uhhhh..." I'll admit, I was already sweating.

Well one of us sure started getting … Continue reading Year 3, Day 64: Name That Song UPDATE! →

Year 3, Day 44: Name That Song 2!

Miles started belting this single line out on repeat today. Never heard it before and can't even take a stab at what it might be. Any guesses?

Year 3, Day 14: Name That Song!

Miles is always picking up new songs and reciting them to us, and we always have fun trying to figure out exactly what song it is ("Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" was a recent one that stumped me for a few minutes). Well we've finally encountered one that we have absolutely no idea … Continue reading Year 3, Day 14: Name That Song! →
