Three is the Magic Number

When Nicholas has playtime we listen to Pandora. We have several favorite children stations that we like to listen to while we play and today one of them played this sweet song, which was sung by Elizabeth Mitchell. It spoke to me as our sweet little boy is now three years-old and there just seems to be something so magical about this age...

Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it’s a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.

The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.

It takes three legs to make a tripod
Or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a vehicle
Called a tricycle.

Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don’t have to guess.
When it’s three you can see
It’s a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that’s a magic number.
