Z is for Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

When D#2 was a baby, I used to change her diapers on the long bathroom countertop. One memory I have is singing this song to her as I zipped up her one-piece jammies. To this day, she remembers me doing it, even though she was only about 18 months old. Just goes to show how a baby's mind takes things in, especially extremely pleasant experiences.

How does this fit into my theme for this round (my new life with Lorne)? Well, she has been a real trouper in accepting the fact that I've moved on with my life and she's happy that I'm happy. She's developing a very good relationship with Lorne and respects our relationship. So here's to a wonderful daughter and our memories of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."

May all our lives be filled with zip-a-dee-doo-dah moments!

  8. I loved that song as a child, too! It's such a happy, melodic tune. No wonder your daughter remembers you singing that to her, safe in her mother's love, and in her warm home, well fed and comfortable and with 'Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah' ringing in her ears!

  9. This song always sparks a memory for me too - my mother took me to see the movie, and I can recall it as clear as day. I don't have many warm memories of my mother (not her fault, she was ill), so this one is particularly special to me.

    I am so glad your daughter recognises you have earned the right to be happy, and is being supportive in that!
