My Helpers

How capable they are and so helpful. Yesterday as I was getting our "tools" out to sweep the floor, my helpers were there, ready and willing. While we cleaned we enjoyed a dance-fest too! It was pretty cool that both of Little Caleb's songs played as we danced. Sweet times. Deliberate times. Loved motherhood. I am grateful.

As I listen to the lyrics of Smile (Little Caleb's second "theme" song-- we have one for each our treasures as they've grown inside me), I realize the sentiments in this song, are true for each of our little ones. Particularly the line, "I see the best of me inside your eyes. You make me smile." Oh, so true!

Smile


You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow (that's right)
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Let's me know that it's okay (yea, it's okay)
And the moments when my good times start to fade

[Chorus:]
You make me smile like the sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record,
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold,
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along just like a flower pokin through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain
And just like that

[Chorus]

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like fool, Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

[Chorus]

(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smille
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smille
