FEATURED FAVORITE
This one is kind of a two-fer-one. These won't only be kid-related items, either, I promise.
I've been listening to A Child's Gift of Lullabyes since I found the album at a preschool I once worked at. It was the only tape (this was ages ago) that all of the kids fell asleep to. I had up to eight toddlers at a time and they all responded sleepily to this music. The album has nine songs on it. The songs are first done with someone singing the lyrics, then they are repeated as instrumental versions (B side of the tape version, tracks 10-18 on the CD). The songs are sweet, sweetly sung, and the melodies are happy and soothing. I used this tape/CD to help myself sleep even before I had Hannah. It still makes me sleepy listening to it at Hannah's bedtimes. She has listened to this almost every night since she was born. We tried to mix things up and use different lullabye CDs but this one always does the trick and if she's cooperative, she's usually out sawing logs by track five. After searching for this CD to give as one of my favorite shower gifts, I found that there was another version. This classical arrangement by Emile Pandolfi is now the one we listen to. The piano is magical under this person's fingertips and the familiar lullabyes are transformed into classics. I absolutely love it.
