My goodness. I have never put a crying baby to sleep before, but tonight, since I am writing anyway -- and this is my last free weekend until December! -- I am watching Aoife so that Tink and Joe can be out on a date. But just now she cried and cried when I put her down and I found myself singing all kinds of ridiculous songs to her until she went to sleep.

I never sing, so I am very impressed with myself.
