This is how you do it


Right at this very moment, I am overcome with love and joy and tears and such. Why? Because right at this very moment, my husband is singing to my baby boy as he feeds Amos his last bottle of milk for the night. The bedroom is dimmed, and Amos is swaddled up tight and looking softly at his father who is singing a John Gorka song about trees.

It is possibly one of the sweetest moments I've ever witnessed. I walked away to allow them this moment, but I can still hear them on the other side of the wall.

Phil doesn't sing very often, and usually if he sings in my presence, it is because I asked him to do so. Now he is singing to our son, and I can't tell you how beautiful that is to me.

That's all. Just had to say it. My men. I love them to pieces.

Beautiful moment.

Even better that you don't have to do anything apart from love on them.

i often sing to darcy... but made up songs..

her favourite goes something like..
"Darcy is a tiger
she's sometimes a spider.
she's got 2 legs, she's got 2 arms, and a pretty head "

I know it is stupid.. makes no sense, but she loves it !!

This brought tears to my eyes - this was truly a magical moment and I'm so glad you were there to witness it! Have a Happy Halloween. See ya.

Oh yes. The daddy love is so wonderful to watch.

Amanda said...

Awwww, that is so sweet! Neilen and I make special requests for Daddy to sing us to sleep. Neilen knows that if Daddy doesn't sing, Mommy will, and no one wants that.
