Lullabies

I just put Rafa to sleep and as I was singing to him I got weepy. Definitely not hormones but a genuine mommy moment. 

At night I hum traditional hymns like Amazing Grace or Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. But in the afternoons (now that our nanny has been away for more than a week and I'm in-charge of his naps), I sing the Beatles' I Will and a string of Carpenters songs (We've Only Just Begun seems appropriate too for a mom and child, no?) and Edelweiss. Please don't ask why. Haha. 

I think it's one of the most touching moments of my day.
