Every night (at least, every night that I put Robin to bed), the last thing we do before I tell Robin that I love her is recite a poem. This is a poem I remember my mom telling me when I was young, and it always made me feel very calm.
Recently Robin has started demanding the poem from Andy, who unfortunately does not know Mommy's particular childhood poems. So I'm writing it down for him.
Good night Mr. Beetle.
Good night Miss Fly.
Good night Miss Ladybug.
The moon is in the sky.
Good night Mr. Rooster.
Good night Miss Sheep.
Good night Mr. Horse.
We must all go to sleep.
Good night Miss Kitten.
Good night Mr. Pup.
We'll see you in the morning
When the sun comes up.
