lullaby and goodnight

be still my heart...
so, tonight as rhett and i are going through our nightly ritual of singing before heading to sleep i thought we should have some sweet momma and rhett time so we rocked and hummed. in the midst of my humming of lullaby and goodnight i thought to myself...why in the world do you not know the words to this song? so, as i was rocking and humming to my sweet babe i picked up my iphone and tapped in "lullaby and goodnight" and low and behold i found the lyrics and proceeded to sing to my rhett.


"Lullaby, and good night,
You're your mother's delight,
Shining angels beside
My darling abide.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.
Soft and warm is your bed,
Close your eyes and rest your head.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes.
Mother's right here beside you.
I'll protect you from harm,
You will wake in my arms.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear.
Guardian angels are near,
So sleep on, with no fear."

as i was singing rhett was locked in on me and reaching for my lips...how sweet is that...he had the most content sleepy smile on his face as i sang..."close your eyes rest your head..." his eyes got so heavy he couldn't stay awake for one more second and with one last sleepy grin he fell asleep. i am so in love with being a mom!
