Ever since Reid was a few months old, I have a bedtime/naptime routine of holding him in my arms, swaying and singing "Jesus Loves Me". I did this with Sierra too until she was too big and then I sang to her while she lay in her crib...
Until about a month or two ago...
Then she started asking me to hold and swing/rock her too and she rests her head on me. I am cherishing this because soon she really will be too big for me to hold. She asked me to sing "Jesus loves me this I know". Then she started requesting other songs. "little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head" (Away in a manger) was a sweet one.
... Then she wanted "Wheels on a bus go round and round" for about a week. And most recently, "banana banana song". You know, "Sierra Sierra Bo-beara, banana-nana fo-ferra, me-my-mo-merra, Sierra". Yes, it's hilarious. Such a sweet moment as she lays her head on my chest and I hold her. And sing the banana-nana song.
She is a character!
