Three girls and 99 bottles
Monday, May 14th, 2012Yesterday morning Zoe presented me with a Mother’s Day card she had made at school; inside, next to a picture she had drawn of me, it said, “I love my mommy because she sings me 99 Bottles sometimes and I really like it.” I was both amused and touched that that was the thing she highlighted – amused because I wondered what her teachers thought of my choice of lullabye, and touched because I used to sing that song to her when she was two and she still remembers!
Later that day, after a fun morning out (see below), Avery was overtired and in need of some extra attention at naptime. I sat with her and bounced on the bed and when she asked for a song I wound up singing 99 Bottles – something I haven’t done in quite some time. It was only fitting.
