Unlikely Lullaby

Right after Beckett was born, I would draw a blank at bedtime when thinking of lullabies to sing to him. 
It was like stage fright.....like I was in the spotlight. 
Strange, but for a while we made up songs to sing to him, sometimes we still do. 
Eventually, the songs flooded my brain....even ones that weren't necessarily lullabies. 
One of his favorites I sing every night is My Little Buttercup from 
the movie The Three Amigos.
NOT a lullaby, but what cracks me up is that he sings along and knows every word now.  
Happy Wednesday! 
xo,
