Tal hums along with the Good Lovelies as she searches for a long-untouched mesh bag of tub toys.
“No time to get down —” Nia harmonizes her voice.
“Cuz we’re moving’ uuuuhp!” Thalia sticks another crab to the refrigerator door and twirls.
Cal swallows and checks to make sure their laces are tied.
You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

crab walk
I’m with Gary — I saw them as cookies first.
At first my silly brain was certain those were fabulously decorated cookies! Then I saw the pail... Tubby Toys? Then I think I read of magnetic attraction to your refrigerator?! I’m having sensations from the classic: “Elephant and Telephong.”
I got a kick out of your interplay with the Good Lovelies! Song is in the air and feet are on the floor. Somewhat, I suppose, since twirling and walking have different amounts of floor contact. 😊
A second look at the tub toy bucket offered a glimpse of a snail? Were these the kid’s? I’m pretty sure they weren’t Greg’s...
MLK, Jr.’s comment about “take the first step” seems in harmony with “a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.”
Loveletterist, today’s post is a burst of sight, sound, and imagination! Brava!
