kid tested and grandmother approved

www.pandora.com, Heavenly Lullabies, puts 5 year, 10 year and even 2 year old children to sleep quickly and quietly. These songs tend to have little cricket noises or bird noises playing quietly in the background. I think the boys quiet down so they can hear the noises and then the music lulls them to sleep. They are usually out in about 10 minutes instead of the hour or two it used to take.

Wyatt had been playing www.nickjr.com games and videos for quit awhile. I told him that he could finish coloring his plane but then it was time for bed. He said, "I love bedtime here. It's my favorite time." My heart melted. This king size bed is been awfully nice with the boys and the dogs - all of us piling in and snuggling in under the quilts and the soft sheets.

Christian will be 11 soon. I doubt he'll be wanting to sleep in Grandma's bed much longer. Actually, it is tough for me to get any sleep. Wyatt sleeps one way and Christian the complete opposite. The dogs, even though they are compact little dogs, take up almost as much room as the boys. Thankfully, Nala, when she is here, sleeps under the bed instead of up on top with all of us.

Wyatt has his big truck in bed with us. I wonder if grand daughters sleep with softer toys?
