Last night when everybody was in bed ready to fall into slumber, Emir serenaded me to sleep in bed with one hand patting my back as in what mommies would do to babies to make them sleep. This was the song he sang over and over again with his baby accent. And he got the tune 100% correct!!! even though the pronunciation was off the track a little bit (pelat). How lovely to hear my son lullaby me ... It’s no wonder I fell asleep first before him. Where did he learn this song (maybe from the CD) but how did he know this was lullaby ? Heavens know…..
Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
