Lyrics in the time of lice
Can't believe two months have gone by and I keep forgetting to record a very precious moment that happened when we were in the throes of ridding our household of head lice.
I was in the bathroom nit-combing Sierra's hair for the umpteenth time, it was killing her head and she was crying. It took me about 40 minutes to go through her whole massively thick head of hair and it was a huge trial for her. At some point, completely of her own volition, Evelyn figured out that it would be helpful for her to sing a song to Sierra to help ease her pain. She stood in the doorway of the bathroom singing, "I love you in the morning, I love you at noon, I love you after lunch, and all afternoon", etc., etc., ...... "You're the very best sister in the world" Amazing little tunes, and the sweetest little made-up lyrics you could possibly ask for. The astonishing thing was that she kept this up for a good solid 30 minutes or so. This one's going down in history....
