Did you all grow up hearing a favorite lullaby? I did. I recently found out the one Honey sang is from Peter Pan (the old school musical). I have now started singing this to Little One during the day for naps and at night (you will never hear me sing it as I have a really bad voice, oh well!). This one seems to soothe her pretty well.
Here are the lyrics to Tender Shepherd:
Tender shepherd
Tender shepherd
Let me help you count your sheep
One in the meadow
Two in the garden
Three in the nursery
Fast asleep
NEXT VERSE: Tender shepherd
Tender Shepherd
Watches over all his sheep
One say your prayers
And two close your eyes
And three safe and happily
Fall asleep
Tender shepherd
Let me help you count your sheep
One in the meadow
Two in the garden
Three in the nursery
Fast asleep
NEXT VERSE: Tender shepherd
Tender Shepherd
Watches over all his sheep
One say your prayers
And two close your eyes
And three safe and happily
Fall asleep
Here is Little One after a nap. She will wake up and coo to herself for a bit which always makes me smile. I sneaked up on her to find this. I recently started putting her "lovies" in with her but am still hesitant to have things in the crib/Pac n Play. The colorful flower is hanging above her even though from this angle looks like it is in the crib with her. What are your thoughts on things in the crib? I am always a bit more nervous than most after working in a hospital ... no stuffed animals for quite some time!
This one is blurry but too precious to not post!
Tender Shepherd is my favorite song from when I was little! I sing it to Addison all of the time. I've started putting a blanket on Addison at naptime - I fine with it, especially now that she lifts her head and rolls all of the time.
