Long-forgotten Lyrics Of My Life

I know you want me...

Trying to catch up. Day 4.

While my kid is taking a nap (don't judge), I figured I'll use the time wisely and get some things done around here. Come to think of it, some of the songs I play for my child are mostly the songs that I used to listen to or like. That doesn't mean that she'll like them as well. However, they don't say that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree for no reason.

Pittbull ~ I know you want me

Once again, it's one of those catchy songs that have a decent beat to it. Don't judge me on what I let my six month old watch when it comes to putting her to sleep, as long as it works. This song though, she just stares at it until it's done. She doesn't bounce, doesn't blink. I'm not sure if it's the girls or him, but it sure gets her attention.

Ever since Daisy's arrival, I've refused to put her to sleep by the means of holding her. Usually, at night, she'll put her hands up and within two, three songs, she's out like a light. That's the only time I'll lull her to sleep in my arms.

I remember my mom used to tell me that the worst part of raising me was trying to put me to sleep. I never wanted to sleep. She'd try anything and everything until the only way to put me to sleep was to put me on her legs and rock me like that. Let's say that it didn't work very well. At times I think she tried to much or perhaps tried to force it. Just like Daisy, I stayed up until the wee morning hours before actually going to bed.

I've learned my lesson with that. That, and the fact that I don't have to get up early in the morning so I have the luxury of staying up late with her. So, I let her wear herself out. I play with her until she's ready to eat and hopefully with that she'll also put herself to sleep.

The song doesn't help with that but it does distract her from crying.
