The Romance Bookie

 When you have a child, you will do everything to make sure your baby is happy and healthy.  Along the way, you'll also do everything to make sure you don't go insane from all of the crying.   While my husband and I are still trying to figure those things out, especially since they change almost daily, and depend on how our little guy is feeling.   One thing that seems to be working is playing him music when he starts getting fussy from being too tired. The current song that really helps? How Far I'll Go sung by Auli'i Cravalho from Disney's Moana !

Scarborough Fair , is actually a traditional English folk song from the Middle Ages; but it also happens to be a song that my son relaxes to.  My mother-in-law sang him Simon and Garfunkel and he instantly relaxed into her arms and fell asleep to the soothing sound. Scarborough Fair holds a special place in my heart, because it was a song that I got to learn and sing in my middle school choir class.  It was my favorite songs we got to sing; so whenever I hear it, I immediately think to that time. As I'm writing this, my son is sleeping in his bassinet next to me, as Simon & Garfunkel is playing on my phone. ...
