lullabies
up for the 1am feeding and tc is really chowin' down. i usually keep classical music playing in the house, but for some reason tonight, i felt like switching over to the 'retro active' station and listen to some 80's alternative. as i finished burping the little guy and sat there on the couch holding him, i remarked to him, "i sure wish they'd play something i'm familiar with so i can sing for you." and no sooner did i say those words and it happened.
"i wish i was in tijuana eating barbecued iguana. i'd take requests on the telephone, i'm on a wavelength far from home. i feel a hot wind on my shoulder, i dial it in from south of the border. i hear the talking of the dj, can't understand just what does he say?i'm on a mexican radio
i'm on a mexican whoa-oh radio
and his lids get heavy as he drifts off to slumberland...

Posted by: tracy "htppnh" at May 31, 2007 11:26 AMI have so thoroughly enjoyed reading about tc the past few days and following you as you awaited his arrival. I'm excited about all the adventures to come!
And nothing beats a lil' bit of Mexican Radio at 1 in the morning. ;)

A beautiful thing, jeff...thanks for sharing.

And babies make the best blankets, especially for afternoon naps...
