Good Night, Sleep Tight

Bedtime became less stressful when babykins started sleeping through the night. Once we did our sleep training the "routine" was something I enjoyed.
7:30 Dinner
8:00 Bath
8:30 Bed
...however it is the 1/2 hour between bath and bed that is nice. She gets her bath, then we change into our PJ's after getting ears cleaned. We then go over to the windows and sing, "Buenas noches sol, es hora de dormir"... then we plug in our pink Lilly Pulitzer elephant nightlight that Tia Kiki gave us. Then we sit in our chair with our giraffe lovie that Tia Kiki gave us and we read 1-2 books. We then say our prayers and then sing, "I Will" by the Beatles and "Goodnight" by the Beatles.

When I was about 15 I fell in love with the Beatles. I bought every CD and listened to them all the time. It was "my thing". Some kids dye their hair, others drink...I listened to the Beatles. I remember when I was first listening to "Goodnight" I thought to myself, "someday I am going to sing this to my kids as their bedtime lullaby" ...FFWD 18 years later, and it is. I like to think that 15 year old me is smiling at 33 year old me every night as I hold babykins near me and sing her these words...

Now it's time to say good night
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Good night Good night Everybody
Everybody everywhere
Good night.
