You've got me a'singing

My little boy loves his night time lullabies with Momma. Tonight as I was singing him to sleep it occurred to me that perhaps some of our song choices were less than traditional lullabies. (not all, but some) And because it's probably something I'll want to remember when he's older, here are some of the ones we sing most. And by we, I mean, I of course. He "sings" along, but it sounds more like soft low-pitched squeaking - but it's still music to this momma's ears.

Today at work my dad got a voicemail which went as follows:

Mama. Maaaa... Ma! mama...eeee. [squeals]

Elijah, put that phone down right now.

Eeee. Eeee. Aahhh. Mama! [muffled crunching]

Also, the fact that someone invented the electric blanket somewhere in history is simply awesome. that is all.
