It's always a joy to read them. I can feel the love that you and the fabulous, fanatical (about birds), frightful-haired Fatty (more alluring alliteration...I love it :) have for your children. <BR/>Thank the Lord for all the parents who have a bedtime ritual with their kids. Reading and singing...two of life's necessities.<BR/>You two keep up the good work!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1143994251065231982006-04-03T02:10:00.000+10:002006-04-03T02:10:00.000+10:00*sigh* This is so sweet.

His grown-up voice coupled with her teeny toddler voice (also with a lisp) was the sweetest duet.manababieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972417886928074122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1143989603125209522006-04-03T00:53:00.000+10:002006-04-03T00:53:00.000+10:00ha!

You & Fatty are just such good attentive parents...we all should have been so lucky. <BR/><BR/>I say don't pay attention to what anyone says about your nightly ritual and just go ahead and take all the time you want with your children. Laura & Ben will ALWAYS fondly remember how you sweetly tucked them into bed each night with such tender loving care...And they will also pass the songs on to their children someday with the stories of how you and Fatty lovinly tucked them in each night.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow is my Mother's birthday and I wish I just had one memory of her to hold onto.Sandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1143758871256251032006-03-31T08:47:00.000+10:002006-03-31T08:47:00.000+10:00Awe!

I now sing those same songs to my grandchildren. It's a tradition that's likely to be passed on to my great-grandchildren. I have found all the words to all the songs my mother sang (there are many) and they are saved for the grandchildren. When I speak to them on the phone, and ask if they are my pony girl (Pony boy, pony boy, won't you be my pony boy, etc., etc.), they giggle and laugh, and expect me to sing the song to them on the phone (which I do, silly me). It's the sweetest feeling in the world to know you are loved by these innocents.<BR/><BR/>Your nighttime ritual -- what can I say, but keep it up. This will be their fondest memory of their parents, how you loved them enough to forget your cares and tiredness and spend all that time with them each night when they need you the most.<BR/><BR/>You and Fatty are special parents.Motherkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112722238053618079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1143719867562781742006-03-30T21:57:00.000+10:002006-03-30T21:57:00.000+10:00Your blog brough a tear to my eye.

We were not all blessed with such loving parents - and don't let anyone tell you to parent differently - at my age my mother and I have at last formed a loving relationship so it is never too late in life to love our parents before they are gone. My father told me how much he loved me and appricated how I looked after my younger sisters just before he died. We missed all those years.doubleknothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770447988787944018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-1143719499934674902006-03-30T21:51:00.000+10:002006-03-30T21:51:00.000+10:00Thanks, Tuff - I try to be a good mum!

How lovely that you take this time with your children. If more parents were like you, the world would be a more peaceful place. I often think how lucky I am that I had such loving parents. I still remember my dad reading poetry to me every night when I was a child. So many children are neglected emotionally by their parents. We are so lucky to feel such love, and so we pass it on!TUFFENUFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857786656471454329noreply@blogger.com
