You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear
I lay there sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I woke dear
My arms were empty
So I hung my head down and cried
These are the lyrics that I just sang to Charlie a dozen plus times in order to calm him down before going to bed tonight. I sang this song to him a lot when we first brought him home. Now, I sing it whenever he gets upset, and it usually calms him down quickly. I have tried singing other songs to him, but this one seems to be his favorite.

I'm still singing that song to little Karabelle! She loves it. In fact, it was sung just last night! Charlie is in good company!

Love,
Staci

My mom used to sing that to me too! Like, until I was 20. I think she still sings it. Charlie is a lucky lil' fella. Likewise, you and Nick are so lucky to have such a precious peanut!

We need to work on getting that boy to sleep when he hears that song. Or any song at this point...are things going any better at night?
