The other day as I was driving home on one of our many crowded freeways, a beautiful piano piece began playing on our local classical radio station. Immediately I began to relax to it's slow, rocking rhythm. It reminded me a little bit of the music I enjoyed so much in the recent Disney movie UP. If you liked that, you'll like this! It's Chopin's Berceuse, which is translated "Cradle Song" or "Lullaby".

OF COURSE, I HAD TO SHARE A COUPLE OF CUTE BEDTIME STORIES FOR YOU. What were your favorites?
SWEET DREAMS LULLABY (toddler-preschool)
This imaginative, peaceful bedtime book invites a bunny (tucked snugly into bed) to dream of comforting scenes from nature's nighttime. Each page reveals a delightful dreamscape for children to imagine as they drift off to sleep with the lulling, rhyming text...
"Dream of purple twilight skies,
a bedtime kiss from butterflies.
Caterpillars in cocoons
are tucked in tight beneath the moon."
ALL ASLEEP
by Joanna Walsh (baby-toddler).
The gentle text is about all babies - from tall babies to small babies, from babies asleep in cars, to babies snoozing under the stars. It's a perfect bedtime rhythmical board book story for babies everywhere. I also love that it represents multi-ethnic babies.
