Sometimes, when you go to bed and can't sleep, you sneak out of your bed and ask me to sing you a lullaby.
When you first asked this, I wasn't quite sure what to sing. So I decided to go with 'Away in a Manger' (AKA 'The Jesus One'), 'Silent Night' and 'Edelweiss'.
You enjoy them very much, as do I. We cuddle up, and you watch me tenderly, listening intently. You always ask why Jesus is asleep on the hay, to which the answer varies in length, depending on how keen we are to get you to bed. You also try to sing along, which is also lovely as you can really hold a tune.
On other occasions you categorically ask me not to sing along to songs... which is less good!
