By the Light of the Moon
Bedtime routine
is one of my favorite rituals with my
kids. Tonight Neal and I took our time......reading stories, telling jokes, playing our game..."I bet I can make you laugh" and cuddling. Oh I love this sweet boy.....who happens to be turning 8 next week. I want to hold on to our time....it goes too fast. As I write this post.....I had to play the Disney Lullaby Album I listened to over and over in his room as a baby. (not sure why but one of my favorite CD's of all times) I found it when we were cleaning out his room over the weekend. So in the computer tonight....I downloaded the CD. Sweet memories of when he was a baby....then a toddler and now a handsome young man....yikes....no still a boy. I am VERY sentimental and I take to heart those nights sitting in his room rocking him to sleep. I continue to sing the following lullaby to him after prayers each evening. I made up my own version.....my mom sung a similar song to me when I was young.
Lullaby and Good-night
and close your eyes...
Mommy loves you
You are beautiful
Now go to sleep
(sung to the tune of lullaby and good-night)
Good-night sweet boy~ I love you xoxo

ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie patootie! My daughter also has a bedtime cd she listens to each night at bedtime. I love hearing it play after we have said prayers and turned off the light. It is music to my ears as well. You have a darling son. :)

ReplyDeleteSmiling at this sweet post!! I have vivid memories of trying to get my fussy girl to sleep, rocking and rocking singing the song below that I had on a tape. Hey, maybe that's why she had her crazy horse phase!
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
XOXO
