Tonight as I was getting Violet to lay in her toddler bed. I got on my laptop and looked up a cd I used to love when I worked at the preschool. It was the one above- Martha Stewart's sleepytime. It is so beautiful. Two of my favorite songs are Baby of mine by Allison Kraus and Out of the woods by Nickel Creek.My little 3 year old class loved it. Well, I played all the sample songs for V on amazon. She must have liked it. Took no time for her to fall asleep. It really is a great selection of songs. They are all soothing but have words unlike most lullabies. As I was stroking my little girl's forehead I got a small tear in my eye. Back when I was 18 years old I had quit college, had a controlling boyfriend and started work at a preschool. At times I would feel inadequate with most my friends away at college. But I enjoyed those kiddos! Some of them really touched my heart and I just knew God intended for me to be a mommy someday.
This cd brought back some nice memories for me. I can't wait to get my hands on it! Too bad it cost 16 dollars used on amazon and 86 dollars new!! Must be popular. The lead teacher owned it at the preschool that's why I don't have it. But I highly recommend it mommies!

Jill - I too quit college at 18 and felt like you! All my friends were in college and there I was working in retail! For me, I knew college wasn't the path for me at the time. You are a great mommy and I love hearing your stories! Take care, Cara
It's on it's way.
that sounds like a sweet c.d. Love Nickel Creek. Glad we are closer again despite those years in between. When should we have our pot luck dinner? :)
