Ally's bedtime ritual practically needs a manual. Teeth Brushing, PJ's, 3 stories, prayers, 3 songs, and than a made up story preformed by daddy.
As daunting as the bedtime routine can seem sometimes, I like it. It's special time with us and until recently my favorite part of the whole saga was song time. She would cuddle in arms and ask me to sing her my childhood classics like "Waltzing Matilda", "My Favorite Things", "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and slew of others.
Now at song time I am being taken out of my comfort zone and being asked to perform lullaby improv. The last few nights I have sung songs about ceiling fans, bunk beds, shoes, pacifiers, poop, and windows. Ironically enough all of the songs have almost the same tune. And the same substance
" Poop, Poop, you stink so bad, you come out of body and stink so bad"
"Fan, Fan you go round and round, you keep me cool while I lay on the ground"
"Shoes, Shoes you say on my feet, shoes, shoes you are really neat"
I'm clearly not winning any grammy's this year, however the challenge has been put before me. The challenge actually comes when she asks me to re-sing the songs... Hopefully poop will forgive me when I mix up the words.....
