A Calming Night Time Routine

My sons and I have enjoyed sharing this book with each other for the last three years. They love to crawl up in my lap and sing the lullabies while we gaze at the beautiful pictures of mother and child. My sons love to talk about and relate to the unique expressions and interactions of the mother with her children in each picture. I love the calming lullabies and the paintings of Mary Cassatt. I give this book as a gift to all of my friends who have just become new mothers.

Songs for Sleeping

There are perhaps few sounds more beautiful, than the sound of a mother's voice as she sings to her children. As the pictures capture the loving relationship between parent and child, the lullabies provide a way for parents to provide warmth and comfort.

Research has shown that children who are sung to early in life, will speak and read slightly earlier than other children who do not have this wonderful nurturing experience in their lives.

As a child, I remember my mother's beautiful voice (she used to sing in the choir at her father's church) and would often fall asleep when my father read stories to me. I would ask him questions, just so he would keep on talking. The soothing sound of my parents voices made me feel that all was well in the world.

The art in this book captures that feeling of safety and love. You can start to sing these songs to your baby and as they grow, they can look at the pictures.

The art of Mary Cassatt is sure to leave an impression! A one page biography is included for your reading enjoyment.

Another way to enjoy singing, is to sing together as a family at Christmas. I just have to remember not to sit next to my one brother, who always tells me jokes or sings the wrong words and has me laughing so much, I can hardly sing.

Sometimes I wish I was little again. Just so I could hear my mother sing lullabies to me. Often she does greet me in a sing-song fashion, which is always entertaining.

A child's Book of Lullabies

This is a WONDERFUL book. It is beautifully illustrated and the songs are a way to share time among children of all ages and adults alike. It makes a wonderful gift to give new grandparents for them to have at their house when children gather. It is my favorite "baby' gift.
