sleep little baby

This is Gus...

He will soon be two years old.

I think he is cute.

David and Erika

are having new carpeting installed in their house

today and tomorrow.

They and all of the kids

are spending the night here tonight.

The bunk beds are full

and Gus is bedded down in the crib in the alcove.

He is struggling right now.

He has pulled down the covering I put at the window

and he is jumping up and down on the mattress

at the speed of sound.

He keeps crying out

and I want to go scoop him up

but that would just delay the process

of sleep catching up with him.

Bubba

 delivered this edict to him....

"Quiet down and go to sleep now!"

We'll see if it works.

"Sleep little baby don't say a word,

Daddy's gonna buy you a mocking bird,

And if that mocking bird don't sing,

Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring."
