I always sing the following songs (in the exact same order, repeat 2 times for each songs) to Jay Jay. And seldom I failed to make Jay Jay to sleep with these songs...
Today, we came back from the Star Cruise at 3:30pm and I need the kids to sleep for at least 2 hours so that they can have lots of fun at auntie Melissa's New Year countdown party tonight starting 7pm. So, I sang the songs and Jay Jay as expected sleep soundly after the songs...
- London Bridge is falling down....
- Row, row, row your boat...
- Polly put the kettle on...
- Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold...
- Bah, bah black sheep...
- Twinkle twinkle little stars...
- ABCDEFG...
- Do you know the Muffin Man...
- She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes...
- Do a deer, a female deer...
- 我有一只小毛驴...
(Backup songs includes The wheel on the bus goes round and round, Old MacDonald have a farm... just in case Jay is having hard time sleeping...)
But whatever works for Jay does not means it will work for baby Kay. No matters how hard I tried, these songs does not seems to does the trick. The only thing that will work is to make baby Kay very tired, and let him choose to sleep on his own, either in the car, or in his stroller at the mall, or...
Find a cozy place at the mall, and carry him until he is asleep, and then you also too tired and sleep with your kid.
If you have more then 1 kid, be prepare to adjust your magic tricks, whatever works for the first kid does not mean it will work for the second one. So, one must be patient and tries to see how to find ways to please them. And it should be fun!
