It's official.  I'm in love again, with a tiny little girl who has captured me heart and soul.  My husband and I visited our son and daughter-in-law last night and over dinner I remarked that I had wondered how I would feel when I became a grandmother--how would it compare to being a mother?  Now I have my answer...it feels wonderful!  And very liberating, because I can do the "fun" things and not have to worry about all the parental responsibilities (been there, done that!).  My husband and I tried to share her equally, which meant while one of us was holding her the other was watching the clock, waiting for the next opportunity to rock her.

I prefer singing a baby to sleep.

While my husband prefers whistling.

Both methods seemed to work equally well!

Looks like it is time for another song!

I had my favorites when rocking my children...Michael row your boat ashore, Puff the Magic Dragon, and  one of my very favorites seemed to do the trick last night...All Through the Night.  

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee,

All through the night

Guardian angels God will send thee,

All through the night

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,

Hill and dale in slumber sleeping

I my loved ones' watch am keeping,

All through the night.

Angels watching, e'er around thee,

All through the night

Midnight slumber close surround thee,

All through the night

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,

Hill and dale in slumber sleeping

I my loved ones' watch am keeping,

All through the night.

All through the night, or until the next feeding...

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
