Songs For The Kids

The song "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall will always make me think of Hannah.  It came out in 2005, but it didn't hit the charts here in the US until 2006.  Hannah was a baby when I first heard this song and the lyrics really spoke to me.  She was (and is) such a beautiful girl and easily captivated me.  I remember that she seemed larger than life to me.  Just looking at her made me want to be a better person.

The song that makes me think of Hailey is "Never Grow Up" by Taylor Swift.  This song was released in 2010, when Hailey was just around a year old.  It was easy to stare at her while rocking her or tucking her in and think how much I wanted her to stay little for forever.  I could see her eyelids fluttering as she dreamed and imagine what it would be like 10 and 20 years from now.


The song makes me think of Logan is "Something New" by Tom Fletcher.  It wasn't even on the radio; I saw it as a repost on Facebook but instantly loved it.  It makes me think of how I was a bit nervous about having a boy.  Everything felt set and normal around here raising girls, and when they told me he was a boy, I remember thinking how different that felt.  I was scared but also ready to try this new thing.  I also thought it was ironic that he mentions April, May, and June since those are the months that all the kids are born in.
