Back in the NICU days, Isaac and I used to sit and hold the boys for hours. For months we would rock them, talk to them about whatever we could think of, and just plain sing.
There is one song from those days that we still sing. It's a simple song, with only a few lines, but it has remained part of the boys' nightly ritual, especially Shawn's. Now it is his lullaby and I always sing it to him every night before he goes to sleep.
Here he is singing the song just for you.*

Wasn't that the sweetest thing? It makes my heart get all mushy and everything!
Who'd have thought that something made up late one night would be the one thing that survived from that time? I sure wouldn't have. But what can I say? They love this song, and I love singing it to them. I love hearing them singing it themselves even more. Maybe, this silly song will be something they sing to their own children one day. :-)
*Ok. I'll admit that he wasn't singing the song for you per say...he was mostly singing it so he could watch himself on the camera. Ahem.

awww how cute!!!
Oh my gosh! That was so sweet it made me cry! Wow! How the boys have grown since that time! Makes me all mushy too! Love to you all! Martha
That really could not be any cuter!
CUTE! It's nice that you have a sweet leftover like that from the NICU. Not many of those eh? In my case at least, any reminders usually send me into a state of PTSD. Although funnily enough, when I sat rocking Asher in peds the other night in the same rockers they had in the NICU, instead of being traumatized, I was somewhat comforted. Because man did I spend a lot of time singing in those rockers too!
