Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes… we have moved on to a new song tonight. I tried to sing this song yesterday and I was met with great resistance. We like what we like, which I suppose goes for all of us.
For awhile the only song I could sing to make Owen happy was the Wheels on the Bus. I must have sang it 100 times a day at first. Then all of a sudden I would get two words of the song out and he would start screaming. I still wonder what made him love the song and then equally turn around and hate the song.
So today when we sang head, shoulders, knees and toes several times without screaming I was happy. The hardest part of this journey is not knowing how to comfort my baby. I can tell he doesn’t like something but the words aren’t there to help him through this.
Hopefully tomorrow he will still like this song but when tomorrow comes and he doesn’t we just learn a new tune. Little challenges happen all the time but big love is right there making those challenges seem so tiny after all. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
