Sunshine

The girls' nightly routine consists of dinner, play time and heading upstairs for bath.  After bath, they do the usual (comb hair, brush teeth, etc.) before climbing into bed.  Then we read two stories, pray, read devotional, and then sing two songs of their choosing, closing with "Jesus Loves Me".  A couple of months ago, Gracie introduced "You Are My Sunshine" into the rotation, and that has consistently been her song choice for the last 7-8 weeks.  Lauren has been choosing "Do You Know the Muffin Man?".  So... each and every night... for the last 7-8 weeks... equals a lot of renditions.   
Little Baby George has been hearing these songs nightly, too.  And, believe it or not, "You Are My Sunshine" is clearly his favorite song.  Nothing quiets him more noticeably than that tune.  Of course, it is a short-but-sweet song so we tend simply repeat the verse and chorus a few times,  then hum for several minutes and hope that he has drifted back to sleep.  We are hoping for a dance mix in the future, something lasting at least 10 minutes.
