There's No Place Like Home (or mommy's arms)


This poor little man was so crabby and was crying and crying.  To tell the truth, my patience was shot.  So, to calm both of us down, I wrapped him up in a blanket and rocked him while singing "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley.  Both of my kids have loved this song.  I find myself singing to my babies a lot and I think it's almost as much for me as it is for them.  It just puts me in a calm frame of mind.  Maybe it's having a peaceful mommy, rather than the singing, that helps them relax.
