Sometimes mother does know best...

Every evening at about 7, LG gets a little fussy. We think it's a combination of being tired and having a sore mouth from teething. I've gotten into the routine of taking her upstairs, sitting in the rocker and humming to her. Well, I have found that there is a single tune that, when hummed, soothes her instantly.

One evening, Gma participated in this soothing ritual, but I had not told her of the magic soothing song. So she's rocking LG, singing "Twinkle, Twinkle," "Rock-a-Bye Baby" and all of the other nursery standards. LG refused to settle down. I diplomatically said, "Mom, trying humming "O Come, All Ye Faithful" -- Here is the picture of her response! She laughed so hard I couldn't even get a focused photo! I don't think that mom was laughing AT ME, but simply the fact that a Christmas Carol might do the trick when age-old songs won't!



Two seconds after mom starts humming, "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful"......LG snoozing!
