A few of our favorite things

{Cue Julie Andrews}


Ice cream and pizza and mac and cheese pasta
Hamburgers (with only ketchup, but lotsa)
His ASU jersey with faded blue jeans
These are a few of Zach's favorite things.

The Magic School Bus and Nate the Great series

Dr. Suess tales when the others get weary
Wii games and listening to Raffi CD's
Bring joy like his other favorite things.


School friends like Westin and church friends like Spencer
Playing with Legos and Star Wars defenders
Going with Grandma to see Chuck E Cheese

These are a few of Zach's favorite things.

When the night's dark,

When the dogs bark,
When his dreams are bad,
Zach simply remembers his favorite things
And then he won't feel so sad!


Playgroup and story time at the library
Word World and Science Kid on PBS TV
Cat's Quizzer and Sneetches are the best reads
These are a few of Ty's favorite things

Beans that are refried with cheese and Ranch plenty
Kix and granola and snack time that's early

Playing outside on his beloved swings
Are just some of Tyler's most favorite things

Legos at playtime and on the best .com
Soccer games with Dad and Batman PJ's on
Crossing the monkey bars like he has wings
These are a few of Ty's favorite things


When the leg's scratched,
When pants are patched,
When the dinner's bad,
Ty simply remembers his favorite things
And then he won't feel so sad!

Goldfish and Daddy and his pacifier
Bananas and yogurt just couldn't be finer
Wearing one sock/shoe and random nap needs
These are some of Gavin's favorite things.

The hum of the treadmill and left-open cupboards
Toys that make music and cuddling with Mother

The Going to Bed Book and swinging in swings
These are some of Gavin's favorite things.

Telephones, cell phones and iPods and remotes
Garbage cans, toilets, and stair gates and hair combs
Homemade spaghetti and sippy cup drinks
These are some of Gavin's favorite things.

When his Mom leaves,
When the boys tease,
When he's tired and mad,

Gav simply remembers his favorite things
And then he won't feel so sad!

I love that! A great and creative way to capture where the kids are at right now! Love it!

That was adorable. I often say someday I'm going to do something like Heidi. I've been trying your writing idea for punishment. It's still new but I think it might be doing the job!

Love it! It's so fun and cheerful.

We could all use more Julie Andrews-type optimism in our lives. Thanks for sharing with us your boys' favorite things--very clever and now I'll be humming the tune the rest of the day.
