Lullabies...

Have you ever sang a baby to sleep?  Our little grouch was having trouble getting himself back to sleep at about midnight last night.  Normally he just falls back to sleep on his own.  As a result, I got to experience what had to have been one of the top 5 moments of being Rocco's momma.  I cuddled with him and started singing.  It amazes me that even the flawed voice of mommy singing can soothe a baby to sleep.  After about 20 songs...I looked at the beautiful little child in my arms...fast asleep.  It was one of my proudest and most cherished moments.  So...if you have never sang a baby to sleep, I recommend it.

I refuse to read your blog until I am off post partum medication unless you promise to not make me cry any more! You constantly remind me of the blessings of being a mommy and not just the chores! I love you Wendyl and your awesome outlook on life!

I love it!! It makes me sad though, to think that my baby is over that stage...and we may never go through that stage again. Thank goodness for the memories, and your lovely reminder!
