We sing that first, and then a couple of other ones (lately she's been asking for "Sleep Like a Little Pea" which I learned from a Cathy Fink/Marcy Marxer CD).<BR/><BR/>You two are just too cute!susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000470374101306070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-77673319395590097822009-02-09T21:29:00.000-05:002009-02-09T21:29:00.000-05:00Oklahoma!

You're raising that boy right!<BR/><BR/>I don't sing to the boys because I'm too self-conscious (although when AB was a tiny baby, I used to sing Pete Yorn's "Life on a Chain"). Instead, our bedtime routine consists of many cartoons, followed by two small books (for ALB) or one book (for AB).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-42033470033074656582009-02-09T19:36:00.000-05:002009-02-09T19:36:00.000-05:00Oh, my.

However, SG has started singing along vigorously. Last night, when I complained, she told me singing opera tires her out so she can sleep. Unfortunately, there was no evidence of that, since she was awake a l-o-n-g time after that.Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389653184198589623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-47813544560882973282009-02-09T15:15:00.000-05:002009-02-09T15:15:00.000-05:00We have the Shirley Jones version.We have the Shirley Jones version.Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-77870868956914806962009-02-09T15:14:00.000-05:002009-02-09T15:14:00.000-05:00Neither!
