I cried

because that song is so beautiful and makes me so happy.  A direct quote from Kelsey tonight after I sang Rock-a-Bye Baby….mostly because I am not a singer, but felt like I should sing something since the ipod failed.  Given that my repertoire of 80s pop songs is a little wider than classical music (and my humming leaves something to be desired), I figured I could just update the words and that would make up for her lack of nightly tunes.

The next thing I know, Kelsey is in tears.  Why? In her words, "because that song is so cute and sweet and nice". I had assumed it was my voice, and while I am grateful it was not, I admit I was stunned by her sudden tears.  Maybe it is the move or maybe not, but I nearly started crying looking into the big, brown eyes rimmed with tears.  It is sometimes hard to believe she is 'only' six.
