Singing Moya to Sleep

Last night was wonderful. Took Moya to bed but she was flopping around not wanting to lay still and go to sleep even though she was so obviously exhausted. I tried to cuddle her and hold her and even just let her flop. Nothing worked so I laid down next to her and pulled her into my arms on my chest and started to sing to her. I sang Stay Awake, then Feed the Birds, and finally Somewhere Over the Rainbow. By the time I finished the last song she was asleep and sighed as I laid her down onto her pillow. I laid next to her and just watched her sleep and then fell asleep myself.

I love being Moya's mommy.
