"Working Together" Song

I've been trying to finally finish organizing the food storage in the basement, but what with the Box Tops Sale and Quaker Sale at Albies last week, I just added more to the mess. Among all the items I got from the sale, I brought home about 70 boxes of cereal (woohoo, a year's supply!). So today's task was to organize and rotate cereal boxes, and I got the girls to be my "big helpers" (I am SO grateful that their little ears still perk up when I say this and they're usually willing to do something for me if I keep it fun).

Anyway, I asked the girls to move all the boxes of cereal into one area by the shelves. They proceeded to do so, putting them in one long line on the concrete. I left for a minute to clean up a spill, and when I came back downstairs, I heard Audrey and Kierra singing a song they had just made, all while shuffling boxes around:

"Work to-geth-er, work to-geth-er, don't you cr-y. Work to-geth-er, work to-geth-er, don't get distracted. It's fun to work and help and sing...."

W-O-W. After feeling like a not-so-confident parent yesterday, to witnessing this today, it made me feel a lot better. Sometimes I just can't get over how blessed I am to have these sweet children in my life. I didn't say anything to them about working together, or not crying, or getting distracted, or anything! I only asked them to be my big helpers and move cereal! What's funny is that after a couple of minutes of singing, Audrey asked me what "distracted" means. Hmmm, now I've got to think of something else for them to help me with tomorrow....
