About Me

My name is Laurie Croce, and I have decided to restart my life beginning at the age of say....2. That means that I get to have temper tantrums when I don't get my way but also that I get to dance and laugh and sing without caring what people think about me! I am under the tutelage of Miss Evalynne Rose, who knows exactly how to be 2 years old because, well, she is 2 years old. I am going to strive to follow in her footsteps, absorbing all the various nuances of a proper pout or an infectious giggle. I am mere clay in the hands of a master potter, why don't you come along and enjoy the ride?

Ever had a song you can't get out of your head?

Well, if you have a child around and happen to play this song for them, you will never, ever, be able to stop it.  And just an FYI, the 2 year old word to request this song is "eewo".  It took me forever to figure out what she was trying to say, but now I know, it means please play "Steve the Superhero" song.  Just in case, you know, you find yourself in the same situation.

Really and truly, I love this video and all of the really cool kid's music and video content on Eric Herman's YouTube music channel.  You can check it out here.
He also has an awesome blog, called Cool Tunes for Kids, which is also well worth checking out because he not only has some of his own work, but is a great resource for other kids musicians and music sites.
I may be having more fun than Evie finding all of this stuff, but shhhh, don't tell anyone.  It will be our little secret, and if you get addicted too, we can all form a support group. I've already decided that "Steve the Superhero" will be our theme song!

Sky Divers

We had a wonderful Sunday afternoon lazing about on the deck of Sebastian Beach Inn last weekend and were delighted to be "invaded" by some adventurous folk from Skydive Sebastian.  Evie had fallen asleep from all of the fun and fresh air, but woke up just in time to watch in amazement as the plane spilled out tiny spots that transformed into a colorful kaleidoscope of parachutes.  I'm not sure what she was thinking when she finally grasped the metamorphosis of color into actual people falling from the sky, but the look on her face was priceless.   Some times you are just in the right place at the right time.  This was one of those times.

I've seen Free Divers
Sea Divers

And hey look at me divers.

Cave Divers

Brave Divers

And I need a shave divers.

Boat Divers

Moat Divers

And let's take a vote divers.

Day Divers

Night Divers

And just not quite right divers.

But what a surprise,
I can't trust my eyes,
I didn't know divers
Could come from the skies!

First came the airplane
That circled around
Higher and higher
Away from the ground.

And then I saw dots,
That then became spots
Of color and fabric
There were quite a lot.


Closer and closer
and closer to me,
Swooping and looping
Right down to the sea.

And then, just in time
They came in to land
Touching down gently
Right in the sand.

Of all of the divers

That might catch your eye,

I like the divers

That come from the sky!

My Nana's Lost Her Marbles

My Nana's lost her marbles.
I don't know where they went.
She seems to think it's all my fault,
But I don't know what she meant

I looked behind my fortress,

And underneath the books,

Next to the blocks and puzzles
And on my towel hook.

They weren't inside the bathtub,
Or floating in the sink.







I didn't see them anywhere
I don't know what to think.



I checked inside the toybox.
I looked out on the deck.
I even looked in Nana's room
(It really was a wreck)!











I told her I was sorry
But I couldn't help her out,
Cause if she didn't put her toys away
She'd have to do without!
