Each night when I rock Evan to sleep, I sing to him the same songs over and over. I have such wonderful plans of singing beautiful lullabies but it never really turns out that way.
I start with "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and by the 6-7 time I switch to "Michael Row the Boat a Shore".....then there is the try of "Hush, Hush, Little Baby". I sing maybe the first sentence and cannot for the life of me remember the rest of the words. I have no memory anymore.
So, my lullaby to Evan ends up with me singing whatever comes to mind: memories of the day, plans for tomorrow and how much I love and appreciate him. These words are all put into song to the melody of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". I call it the "Lullaby Surprise".
