Three Is A Magic Number is one of Kate’s songs – not one that she likes, but one that is inextricably linked to her in my head. When she was a newborn, sleeping all night and day, I used my droid a lot. I’d lay in bed with her snuggled up to me and droid in hand, surfing the net to read and look up songs to listen to. One evening Den insisted we watch all the School House Rock we could find, and this was one of them. I loved it. It’s cute and catchy, and something about it just seemed so very apropos. I found myself softly singing to Kate, “A man and a woman had a little baby…” And we finally did.

(Of course every time I hear it I also think about how there’s supposed to be four right now, not three. It’s more of a fleeting sad thought, trumped by the happy.)
