me and you and pee and poo

sometimes if you think about what life is, it can get weird and overwhelming. in a way that makes you want to hide under a blanket or in the tube toy my mom gave us when we were little. does anyone remember that? and sometimes it seems so simple and wonderful you think you might burst.

last weekend i was swinging with my nephews. i love my nieces and nephews so much that i am sure i was never loved the same by anyone. malachi was on my lap and brigham was next to us. i was holding his hand so we could swing the same. we were singing in and out to help us pump. then i remembered that song from sword in the stone, only i couldn't really remember the words, so it was going something like:

in and out. thin and stout.
that's what makes the world go round.
in and out. up and down.
that's what makes the world go round.
red and blue and sock and shoe,
pee and poo and me and you,
and that's what makes the WORLD GO ROUND!

and when i said 'me and you' brig looked at me and smiled. and when i said pee and poo he laughed a bit. and when i think about the way he looked at me as we swung and held hands i thought...."and that's what makes the world go round!"
