My Oruguita

On Friday, Ethan was singing "Dos Oruguitas" to Katharine, I caught a little bit of it on video before they switched to Smash Mouth, which wasn't as tender of a song, but anyway, I love the Dos Oruguitas song. It's so pretty and it's also fun cause we've been saying that Katharine looks like a cute chubby and squishy little caterpillar. We've had great fortune this summer so far and have some hungry hungry caterpillars in our house. They are eating and eating just like her. Something "inside her is growing..." (the English version of the song says that) It's just a lovely song and I've been listening to it as I hold Katharine and it makes me cry ~ 
Katharine was smiling and laughing at Daniel tonight, it was so adorable!
She is so little and so precious. Two parts of this song that remind me of other lyrics I love - "Don't you hold on too tight" = Brandon Flowers' song Between Me and You - "There's a power in letting go..." I want to hold on to her and I wish she could always be my baby! Just like I wish all my other babies were still here, but I can't hold on to them or keep them this way, but I can savor the moment and cherish the time I have, so I'm trying to do that - Katharine asleep this morning~
Another line in Dos Oruguitas is "...a world that turns, and never stops turning" which makes me think of The Killers Pressure Machine - "Every year goes by faster than the one before..." (And he mentions butterflies in that song too, that one can also make me tear up)
I feel so lucky to have had 13 beautiful babies. It's such a special time, I love it. 
It's so fun to stare and wonder at my little oruguita sleeping. I also love the line "Wonders await you..." As much as I love my babies, I look forward to seeing the wonderful young lady and woman she will grow into. This world is full of opportunity, and wonders await her! 
TWO ORUGUITAS - English version

Two oruguitas
In love and yearning
Spend every evening
And morning learning
To hold each other
Their hunger burning
To navigate a world
That turns, and never stops turning
Together in this world
That turns, and never stops turning

Two oruguitas
Against the weather
The wind grows colder
But they're together
They hold each other
No way of knowing
They're all they have for shelter
And something inside them is growing
They long to stay together
But something inside them is growing

Ay, oruguitas
Don't you hold on too tight
Both of you know
It's your time to grow
To fall apart, to reunite
Wonders await you
Just on the other side
Trust they'll be there
And start to prepare
The way for tomorrow

Ay, oruguitas
Don't you hold on too tight
Both of you know
It's your time to grow
To fall apart, to reunite
Wonders await you
Just on the other side
Trust they'll be there
Start to prepare
The way for tomorrow

Two oruguitas
Cocooned and waiting
Each in their own world
Anticipating
What happens after
The rearranging?
And so afraid of change
In a world that never stops changing
So let the walls come down
The world will never stop changing
(Never stop changing)
(Never stop changing)
(Never stop changing)

Ay, mariposas
Don't you hold on too tight
Both of you know
It's your time to go
To fly apart, to reunite
Wonders surround you
Just let the walls come down
Don't look behind you
Fly till you find
Your way toward tomorrow

Ay, mariposas
Don't you hold on too tight
Both of you know
It's your time to go
To fly apart, to reunite
Wonders surround you
Just let the walls come down
Don't look behind you
Fly till you find
Your way toward tomorrow

Ay, mariposas
Don't you hold on too tight
Both of you know
It's your time to go
To fly apart, to reunite
Wonders surround you
Just let the walls come down
Don't look behind you
Fly till you find
Your way toward tomorrow

Dos Oruguitas - Spanish lyrics - 

Dos oruguitas enamoradas
Pasan sus noches y madrugadas
Llenas de hambre
Siguen andando y navegando un mundo
Que cambia y sigue cambiando
Navegando un mundo
Que cambia y sigue cambiando

Dos oruguitas paran el viento
Mientras se abrazan con sentimiento
Siguen creciendo, no saben cuándo
Buscar algĂşn rincĂłn
El tiempo sigue cambiando
Inseparables son
El tiempo sigue cambiando

Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer aparte y volver
Hacia adelante seguirás
Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas
Hay que partir y construir su propio futuro

Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer aparte y volver
Hacia adelante seguirás
Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas
Hay que partir y construir su propio futuro

Dos oruguitas desorientadas
En dos capullos bien abrigadas
Con sueños nuevos
Ya solo falta hacer lo necesario
En el mundo que sigue cambiando
Tumbando sus paredes
AhĂ­ viene nuestro milagro
Nuestro milagro
Nuestro milagro
Nuestro milagro

Ay, mariposas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer aparte y volver
Hacia adelante seguirás
Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas
Hay que volar, hay que encontrar
Su propio futuro

Ay mariposas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer aparte y volver
Hacia adelante seguirás
Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas
Hay que volar, hay que encontrar
Su propio futuro

Ay mariposas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer aparte y volver
Hacia adelante seguirás
Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas
Hay que volar, hay que encontrar
Su propio futuro
