Last night we had the privilege of having Ty Michael while Carynn and Jamie attended a function for his work. We were quite happy to have the opportunity. Since the weather changed Melinda's plans she was home with us. There came one time when we were all sitting on the couch entertaining Ty. To paint the picture-Michael at one end of the couch, Melinda in the middle holding Ty and me next to Melinda. (By the way we were "fighting over" who got to hold him all evening.)
So we're sitting there and Ty's sleepy, but not quite sleepy enough to go to sleep, just restless. What to do? Draw on our hidden talents! Melinda started making noises (tuh, tuh, tuh, etc.) to a song, Michael started making "boop boop" noises to the same song and I'm bouncing around the Baby Big Bird toy (cleaned up and recycled from Melinda's babyhood) and squeezing his squeaker to the same tune. We did this for a while and Ty seems quited entertained and we were too. When there was a break in the action Melinda asked, "What song is that anyway?" I told her "Give Said the Little Stream" and we all smiled.
And that's what we all did in our own small way...give!
Now that's entertainment!
