Today was a hard day for a number of reasons, but Rachel was a real trouper. After Drew explained to Rachel that she was NOT TO BOTHER MOMMY while he was at the farmer's market getting flowers and other items...as soon as she heard me bustling around the kitchen getting things out to make challah, she came right in with her little red chair, announced that she wanted to help, got her apron from the hook near the door to the garage, and asked for help putting it on. So, how could I refuse? She had a lot of fun kneading the dough, and this winter I will scout around for recipes using yeast that will let us get our hands dirty and punch down dough. It was so nice to have her there; I really like baking with her, and I'm looking forward to making holiday cookies and other treats together!
While she was helping me, she made up a sweet, tuneless little song that went like this:
Mommy, Mommy, I love you so much
Of the day you fly away
Of all the days you will fly away
From this only song
I love you so much Mommy
Yes I do, yes I do
I love you so much
Yes I do
I have no idea what it means, except that I sing "I'll fly away" to her often, so that was probably the inspiration. I think there's a message in there but I'm not sure how to decipher it.
