Inchworm Song

Cailey's favorite song has always been "Twinkle Little Star," every night before bed we sing her Twinkle Little Star." In fact it is quickly becoming Jason's favorite song too because if ever he is fussing Cailey quickly runs to his side to sing him "Twinkle Little Star."  She is such a sweetie :) but I think I need a little variety in my life. So when I came upon the "Inchworm" song I quickly memorized it so I could start adding it into our routine as soon as possible.

I think the "Inchworm" song is fantastic because it has a nice soothing tune, but I especially like it because I think it has a nice moral too. Here is the link to the song if you would like to listen to it. The phrase "measuring the marigolds" means to me the things we have to do in our everyday life. I am a stay-at-mom so I am going to apply it to myself but this song could easily be applied to anyone. It is so easy for me to think of all the things that I have to do in a day i.e. potty breaks, diaper changes, meals to be made, physical therepy excercises, dishes, getting kids dressed, doctor's appointments-the list goes on and on. That is me going about just "measuring the marigolds," but as the song suggests, I need "to stop and see how beautiful they are." They truly are beautiful and I am so blessed to have them. Of course the day-to-day tasks still need to be done but it is still very important to stop and reflect and count your blessings. I know you all still need to "measure your marigolds" but don't forget to "stop and see how beautiful they are."
