What a great tradition! I, too, have so many happy memories of singing lullabies to my children when they were very little. When they were older, we sang together - and that was wonderful, too!<br />Deb @ LivingMontessoriNow.comDeb Chitwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665549481411417908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-8701728310514021362010-12-14T19:51:50.523-04:002010-12-14T19:51:50.523-04:00You've really inspired me with this post to th...You've really inspired me with this post to think small when I consider what traditions we have. I also do the lullabies thing, and you're right that it really is a beautiful tradition — but it's so easy for me to forget that our kids come to see it that way! Thanks for prompting me to think about some of the traditions that come with every season and everyday life.Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-87134178247107528962010-12-14T16:31:00.709-04:002010-12-14T16:31:00.709-04:00Oh I love the idea of Sunday night dinners with ex...Oh I love the idea of Sunday night dinners with extended family! SO jealous that you are able to do that. What a special thing.<br /><br />I think I also agree that winter time becomes more enjoyable when you have kids. Of course, we don't get much snow in Seattle where I live, but when we do, I totally turn in to a kid again! <br /><br />So glad I found your blog through CarNatPar!Sybil Runs Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010496611782268178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-148662863496007542010-12-14T16:22:38.292-04:002010-12-14T16:22:38.292-04:00Awww, I just got a little misty-eyed reading about...Awww, I just got a little misty-eyed reading about your lullabies (sniff). I alternate between singing lullabies and whispering (memorized) good night books to Kieran. Sometimes music works, sometimes he needs just the soothing sound of the spoken word.<br />And I wish we could do weekly family dinners. I've talked to both grandparents about regular dinners, but so far no one has bitten :( Maybe I should just open up OUR home and see who shows up...Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttp://codenamemama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-78934233407577850922010-12-14T14:39:28.227-04:002010-12-14T14:39:28.227-04:00I really like the idea of a weekly family dinner. ...I really like the idea of a weekly family dinner. My father-in-law's family in Georgia do that every Friday. I'd like to see if we could do something similar up here someday.<br /><br />We sing songs before bed, too. Beanie has her favorites, but lately has been asking for funny songs about what we did during the day.Kristen @ My Semi-Crunchy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653965602982379149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595600236357741760.post-9911816458097119182010-12-14T14:00:25.837-04:002010-12-14T14:00:25.837-04:00I love singing lullabies, when Bridget was a year ...I love singing lullabies, when Bridget was a year old she was hard to get down to sleep and our routine included a couple of stories and 6 or 7 different lullabies. Somewhere along the way I experienced a night where she was still struggling to fall asleep and I was tired of singing the songs - so I made up a little lullaby called dream fairies. It has become a favorite and some nights now she crawls up onto her bed and puts her head down and the only words she speaks are her request - "dream fairies"<br /><br />I also love the random other made up songs that have been sung to her ussually during moments that we are both a little distressed by the fact that she is not asleep.. wish I could remember some of those songs now.Margo Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587590552832337539noreply@blogger.com
