Bedtime Songs

Today, Natalie started showing symptoms of the cold that Nate has been battling the last couple of days. I believe it was one reason that falling asleep at nap time took a little longer. The later nap time has also led to a more difficult night of falling asleep.

Nate tucked Natalie in bed about an hour ago. Since then, she has asked us a number of random questions. We have always encouraged her to sing herself to sleep if she is having a tough time going to sleep. Tonight, as Nate and I are sitting in the living room listening to Natalie attempting to go to sleep, we have heard a number of songs coming from her room. The one that really intrigued me was the following song, "Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust." After I heard this refrain numerous times, I asked Nate to go down and ask Natalie where she heard this song. Natalie said that she heard it from one of her religious children's CD's that Nate had her listening to the other day. I think I will be listening more carefully to what is playing on her stereo.
