as i was rocking baby patch to sleep tonight.
i couldn't help but think about how much i deeply cherish those sleepy moments.
our night time routine surely might be my fave of all our time together.
it is just so tender. so affectionate. & so bonding.
i love that every night we rock together.
his warm.chubby.snuggly.little body snuggled up to mine.
listening to our most treasured bedtime songs.
i sing along in a whisper. while his eyelids get heavier with every blink.
until he is fast asleep in my arms.
i know. i know.
you should never let the babe fall asleep in your arms.
that is against all the rules . . .
but i just can't help it. how can you possibly resist that precious snuggle time?!
it all started because my sweet boy has terrible acid reflux.
the doctor said that i must hold him upright for 20 minutes after he eats.
so . . . it was kind of a necessity.
& that has evolved into one of my fave doctor must do's.
i'm not quite sure when i will ever give it up.
and if i am being perfectly honest with you . . .
many nights i stay in the rocking chair for a good while
after the required 20 minutes.
just rocking. singing. praying. adoring.
there is just something so emotionally moving & so utterly satisfying
about those precious slumbering moments.
i want to share my all time most treasured bedtime songs with you.
we listen to them every night during our bedtime routine
& often times at naptime. too.
i know a lot of you are new mommys. or about to be new mommys.
& i just know that you will adore these lullabies as much as i do.
so here it is.
the most tender. most loving. most perfect sleepy time music.
