Evenings have become my favorite time of the day. It's consistently the time that Scott and I get to parent together which makes things much easier and makes for a sweet family time. Scott does the baths and then we feed them together. We've been loving the CD of lullabies that Plumb recorded (thanks Elizabeth for the suggestion!) and play it every evening during the bedtime routine. Just beautiful. I love singing to the babies and snuggling them to sleep. No matter how chaotic the day gets (and it often does!), I want their bedtime routine to be a peaceful time, at least until they hit the terrible twos :) Here are the lyrics to "My Child" ... one of my favorite songs on the CD ... It brings tears to my eyes.
Peacefully you are sleeping
Silently you dream
And I cannot help but feeling blessed
While watching you
Your eyes
My eyes
Your smile
My smile
Your love
My gain
Your hurt
My pain
Your laugh
My joy
Every time, it's mine
You are my child
I will always protect you
Oh and I will even let you go
I'll spend the sweetest time holding you
And will let you grow
Your eyes
My eyes
Your smile
My smile
Your love
My gain
Your hurt
My pain
Your laugh
My joy
Every time, it's mine
You are my child
Don't ever be afraid
Don't ever be afraid
Cause I am here
And if you start to fear
Just close your eyes
And hear me say
Your love
My gain
Your hurt
My pain
Your laugh
My joy
Every time, it's mine
You are my child
