June Group Writing Project Day Four

Once again, we have some amazing entries in our June Group Writing Project! Today we have nine more entries, bringing our total to 32 entries. I’m way excited about the number of entries—but more excited about the caliber of all the entries!

So, once again, read comment and don’t forget to submit your entries!


Today, three things I want Hayden to remember so far in his life:

  1. Marty. His beloved monkey. It’s no coincidence, I think, that a monkey’s screeches are the first animal sound he learned to imitate.
  2. His songs. We sing “Baby Beluga” before every nap and bedtime, but I also want him to remember three special songs that we sing from time to time: “Today,” (sung by my mother to my sisters and me, and by my sisters at my wedding), “Bike Rider” (all five verses, plus any that we make up in the future) and “My Boy is Handsome” (the last two were written by Ryan and me especially for Hayden).
  3. Giggles! Today I was working and I heard Hayden laughing uproariously. He doesn’t laugh like that unless someone’s tickling him or being very silly, so it was weird to hear him laugh like that while playing by himself. (It was the cat.) He was in a strange mood most of the day—grumpy, but very prone to hysterical giggles. He especially liked being chased and being my “puppet” to “play” the drums.
      Don’t forget to submit your entry; the deadline is Saturday!
