What's up with that Title?

I realize this is 2 posts in one day but I'm new at this and my son and husband are napping so what the heck!

I thought I might explain the title of this blog a little bit further. When I created the blog I sat for a good half an hour trying to come up with some spectacular name that would just say it all. Something that would be catchy. It would wow everyone who read it (likely just me). The more I sat there thinking about it, the worse the ideas were. Here are some that were rejected pretty quickly:

• Our Story (Too boring)

• Our Song (Huh? I'm not writing about music)

• Us (Yeah, that's real descriptive)

• G is for Gavin (Sweet but what if another kid comes along someday? Will I have to create a second blog for him or her?)

• How to Raise a Monster-Truck Obsessed Toddler: Life Lessons (I don't think this will stand the test of time).

Big No's to all of these. I couldn't get the idea of music out of my head though and started thinking about some of the songs I really love. At our wedding our first dance was to Songbird by Eva Cassidy. I love it but I didn't want anyone to think I was writing about birds (that's my husband's forte, not mine). Our last dance was to Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. Ah-hah! Not only do I love the song but I felt like it captured how I feel about life in general these days. I'm nervous about quoting song lyrics but here is just one: "Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders, these twists and turns of fate". You can imagine that the life of a 2-year-old is full of small wonders - on a daily basis. I count myself as fortunate to be along for the ride. It is the little wonders (as well as some of the big ones) that I hope I can capture in this blog.
