I watched Grace as usual this morning. We are still having our Mary Poppins marathon. I shall have to buy the DVD. I renewed it yet again from the library. I dread the day I have to return it!
A friend of my daughter's told us that there is a new Mary Poppins coming out soon. I am looking forward to seeing it, although I doubt anyone can hold a candle to Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke!
I am at the libary. It is very peaceful here today. A lovely view of trees with changing colored leaves is is visible through the window near the computer I am typing from.I believe they are maple trees. They are tall, sturdy andrd mighty.
My daughter dropped my off at Cascade Station so that I didn't have to spend so much time on the bus. She did have an ulterior motive though. 12:00 noon is Gracie's naptime. But she does not go down easily. Unless of course she goes for a car ride.
Even then, she fights it. Unless we put in a Johnny Cash CD. She particularly likes "Cry, Cry, Cry", "I Walk the Line", and "Folsom Prison Blues".
We've tried other music. No luck. But put in Johnny Cash and she starts yawning and her eyes get heavy. She is usually out cold in 3 - 4 seconds flat!
My daughter and I are curious if other parents have discovered the magic that is Johnny Cash? At least in putting a baby to sleep!
It is nothing short of miraculous! I am guessing it is his deep voice and simple use of I and V chords that is so soothing to Grace.
But it has worked like a charm for at least a dozen car rides since we discovered it out of desperation.
There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby.
On that note, I bid you adieu.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
Zita
