Tonight, I babysat all three kids.
Got them into bed, and asleep.
Jaylin was in bed first.
And Tyler was playing video games.
Nick was crawling around, being a cutiepie.
But then he was getting grumpy, so I changed his diaper (AND THAT TOOK FOREVER,
HE KEPT MOVING AROUND AND THEN I HAD TO GET HIS LEGS BACK IN HER SLEEPER, AND OMG..} so that was that. And then I got his bottle, and he was sitting on the floor grumping away. So, I started to sing to him, the first song that came to mind.
It ended up being 'Can You Tell' - Ra Ra Riot.
Which is kind of funny.
And he giggled, and laughed and later it calmed him down.
"Oh baby,baby,baby, babe. How long am I supposed to wait?
I think about you nightly...and I get nervous everytime you speak.
My bed's too big for just me.
And when you turn your eyes, I promise I won't care.
Oh baby, baby, baby, babe..."

Not exactly appropriate, but still.
It worked, and I liked the way my voice made him happy.
