Sleeping with Edelweiss
Edelweiss EdelweissIf you are familiar with songs from the movie "The Sound of Music", the above is a popular easy-to-sing-along piece. We first sang this to Matthew when we finally got to carry him in the NICU at TMC. At first I don't believe it, but Mike always sing it to baby. I decided to try it on Monday and it worked like MAGIC. He quietened fast and fell asleep within moments, well, almost.
Every morning you greet me
Small and White
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossoms of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Bless my home land forever
