Attached at the Nip: Good night, sweethearts.

Good night, sweethearts.

I sing to-- and now with-- Gus and Jack all day long. Including at night when they're nursing to sleep. Here are two of their current favorite lullabies.

To the tune of ABCs:

Gus and Jack, I love you

And I know you love me, too.

You are my light, my love, my boys.

You bring me unending joy.

Gus and Jack, I love you.

And I know you love me, too.

To the tune of Jes.us Loves Me:

Mama loves you, this you know

for I always tell you so.

Precious ones in my heart belong

you are smart and you are strong.

Yes, Mama loves you.

Yes, Mama loves you

I always tell you so.

We then sing this one again and put in other names: Daddy loves you, Nana loves you, etc.

Tonight Gus joined in. It melted my heart.

Goodnight, my little loves.

I have no current pictures of them sleeping... must remember to fix that!

Those are so incredibly sweet! I may have to come up with a similar Annabelle version.

Awwww... I think I sang my little boy to sleep for two years until he (ahem) asked me not to. It got a little tedious at times but now I miss it. Tonight he asked me for a lullaby though and my heart melted all over the place.

Can't be a Mama without...

My babies! Gus and Jack are 2 years old, and growing everyday. I am in a state of constant wonderment at the new skills they pick up and the way their eyes shine with love when they look at me.

Gus is so nicknamed because he does everything with gusto. He's been this way since he was a tiny preemie, and he continues to this day.

Jack is my bouncy baby, my jack-in-the-box baby. His knees have been like little springs since before he was strong enough to hold himself up.

MovieDad is my husband, my helper, the love of my life. I literally could not do any of this without his strength and support. I'm sure I could think of more cliches, but I think I hear someone calling "Mama!"...
