Alexa discovered her most recent favorite song in the usual place, our truck. I was only half paying attention because of a daydream when Alexa started the familiar refrain, "again!" The kids don't really understand radio since we don't play it too often. She is so used to being able to replay or skip any song, that Alexa wouldn't believe me when I told her that you can't rewind the radio. This sounded like a typical excuse that I make up when I don't want to fulfill one of her demands, so Alexa upgraded her request to a harangue. Finally, after promising that we'd find it on the computer when we got home, she relented.
At home, Alexa ran to the computer to oversee the execution of my promise. I didn't really know what we were looking for, so Alexa told me that the name was "Hello My Ode Heart," which we adjusted to "Hello My Old Heart" and found our match. Alexa's right, the song is fantastic. Unbelievably for a song this great, there aren't any performance videos available, so I'm including an audio-only version.

When Alexa was 2, I found her hiding in her bedroom with the sugar bowl and a spoon. That may have been the beginning of her love affair with all things sweet. Lex watches YouTube videos on cake decorating for hours, dreaming about making and eating all kinds of fabulous treats. Since moving to Colorado, Alexa and her mom have been practicing their baking. In this photo, Alexa shows off the cupcakes that she made for me right before SHE ate them. This is the standard ploy: Alexa begs to make cookies, cupcakes, or cake for some beloved family member, neighbor, or other deserving soul. Once she gets the OK, the treats are somehow gone before the intended recipient finds out about their gift.
