Jesus Loves Me

Sunday night we were coming home from a Christmas event at my in laws church and the kids were very tired (have you ever noticed that all the Christmas parties and other events are scheduled for the weekends??). Laurie Grace is a very scheduled child. She enjoys and needs a scheduled bed time, nap time, and meal time etc. You would think with her being the third child she would go with the flow, and she does until it interrupts her schedule. That night it was about an hour or two past her bed time and she was not happy. She started crying out of sheer exhaustion.
When she was a tiny baby, I used to sing Jesus loves me to her when she was crying and she used to stop and listen to me. I thought that it couldn't hurt now so I started singing and she not only stopped crying but started singing the song with me. I was so excited that I asked Chris if he was hearing her sing too. He said that he believed that she was singing the song with me. I continued singing most of the way home and she did too!

I tried to recapture it on this video..we had to go outside and so her attention was distracted some but she is singing the song. At the end she gets tired of singing and takes her paci back from me.

Aw- that's good Laurie! :-) You'll have to sing Jesus Loves Me for me next time I'm there. ;-)
