I was cleaning the kitchen while this album was playing out of our iPod dock. Drew wandered in to grab a banana or maybe a slice of toast and said,”What is that sound? Is it a song?”
“Yah, it’s this guy called Bibio – you like it?”
“It sounds like I’m underwater in the ocean. Like, if I was in a movie, and I was underwater, swimming around, this song would be playing.”
And then he did a wide eyed fish face and swam through the air in front of the refrigerator.
This small interaction just made me stop. And appreciate him. And appreciate how open he is, how he just says what he thinks.

I will photograph your family one day. Just letting you know that. PS. Drew is awesome.
I love how you’re able to stop in the middle of an ordinary activity and be present. That is the secret to a good and happy life. Thanks for reminding me.
FYI – if anyone ever wants to waste a day, just take Drew alone on a car ride somewhere. He will not. stop. talking. And it won’t be annoying… amazing, that.
I know I have said this before and before, but I love it when you share music. It’s always new to me and I always enjoy it.
Love your musical tastes, keep on sharing, and I love that you are aware of the blessing your children are every ordinary day :)
I love when you post little moments like this. I appreciate them almost as much as you!
Without even hearing that song, I can totally picture what he means about an underwater sequence in a movie. I hope my boys are as awesome as yours when they grow up!
good thing we can keep learning from our kids
those are the moments you want to bottle up and keep in your heart and mind forever. and by the way, he is right. If there is a movie with an underwater scene, this is the soundtrack. good call drew.
Yup…he’s right. I feel it too! I also feel I might be doing that for Sesame Street circa 1978. <3
you have some amazing children! it totally makes sense listening to the song!
I just love that this is what you listen to as you clean the kitchen.
