I thought of another funny/really sad story I wanted to record before I forget to put it in Colby's scrapbook. There is a song I sing to my kids a lot - that my mom used to sing to us. Here are the lyrics, as I remember them...
I had a little Jelly Bean; her name was Sally Sue.
She could do most anything a Jelly Bean could do!
She'd talk with me & walk with me, sing songs into my ear
She could do most anything... even drinking root beer!
Sally Sue, I love you.
One day as I was walking along, I dropped her on the floor
My poor old Sally Sue went rolling out the door!
I hunted up and down the streets, searched all through the town.
My poor old Sally Sue was no where to be found.
Sally Sue, I miss you.
After many years of constant search, I traveled miles afar.
I finally decided my Sally Sue had been crushed by a car!
Then one day as I was coming home, I found my Sally Sue
She'd been with me all along on the bottom of my shoe.
Sally Sue, I'm sorry I smushed you!
When we were in Austin for the hurricane evacuation, my brother gave Colby the next level in Rubik's Cubes (the 4X4 Rubik's Cube).
We went to the park and Colby couldn't put it down at first. But he did and then forgot it at the park. We realized it later that night and went to search for it at the park. A kid told us that somebody found it and took it to their house. This Rubik's cube meant enough to Colby that I went to that person's house and asked if they had the Rubik's cube. They did, but it had fallen apart into pieces and was in their garbage with a bunch of trash. Colby was devastated! As I was laying down with Colby that night, I sang him the Sally Sue song and he totally started crying! I asked him what was wrong and he said that the song reminded him of his Rubik's Cube!! Thankfully, Roice saved the day and brought Colby a new one the very next day.

Sad.....we have the same thing going on here. Whitney left her i-touch at the walking trail and when we went back to get it- of course- gone! Still hoping somebody turns it in. I'll have to be careful which songs I sing to her :) Oh, and I doubt anybody's gonna be replacing it any time soon!
