For my babies.

Many nights I lay with you curled up in my arms.
Singing lullabies that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl.
I feel like you're all growing up way too fast.
My nights of cuddling and lullabies are numbered.

One day you will all be "too old" for it.
Until then I'll take all I can get.
But you will always be my babies.
I love you as big as the sun, moon, and stars.

Or as Ava says,
I love you as big as this toy, or house, or
whatever little object she thinks of.





This is one of my favorite songs my mom used to sing to us:

"For Baby (For Bobbie)"
By: John Denver

I’ll walk in the rain by your side
I’ll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I’ll do anything to help you understand
I’ll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I’ll be there when you’re feelin’ down
To kiss away the tears if you cry
I’ll share with you all the happiness I’ve found
A reflection of the love in your eyes

And I’ll sing you the songs of the rainbow
A whisper of the joy that is mine
And leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime

I’ll walk in the rain by your side
I’ll cling to the warmth of your tiny hand
I’ll do anything to help you understand
And I’ll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
Leaves will bow down when you walk by
And morning bells will chime
