It was a beautiful day in northern VA, temperatures were going to hit 72, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Tulips and Kwanzaan Cherrys are in full bloom - yard sale and garden show signs were posted in anticipation for the weekend. Burl Ives was on the CD player as we ran errands.
Me - "Evie, what music do you want to listen to?"
Evie - "Christmas music."
Me - " Parumpumpum pum?"
Evie - "No. Holly Jolly"
Consequently Burl Ives.
And this isn't weird. Because my children love Christmas music all year long. A complete paradigm shift for seasonality. I'm not sure how it will impact me this holiday season. Will I even notice Christmas music? Unsure.
There are many shifts of thinking that are similar.
Eating at 5:30 isn't weird anymore. In fact, it ensures a pleasant meal from the finest restaurant like Ray's the Steaks (where we ate as a family tonight yum times four!) to Hong Kong Palace where we suck down the fantistic food. The children have a lower level of crazy at 5:30 and they are more likely to focus on food and not be running all over the place.
A temperature of 100 Degrees isn't much to fuss about. (103 is a different story!)
Having large plastic toys isn't that weird. (I can't believe I am even saying that one out loud!!!)
The list goes on.
