Thanks to Tiny's Mom for tagging me with this one - I had to steal some of your answers (and could have stolen more!). I want to tag everyone, but then I know no one will do it... so I tag Jenni, Amy, Erica, Lori, and The Dalai Mama.

  3. I too can be found at the computer during nap-time, all the time. And I only sing loudly when I'm completely alone (or with Abe, who gets the puzzled, cocked-head "baroo?" expression). Cool list.
