Sleeping beauty

Carey snapped these on Sunday. They make her wistful for our baby. He's such a little boy now. Talks non-stop, runs non-stop, and cuddles only early in the morning or when he's really tired. But when he's sleeping it's easy to remember those precious months when all he knew was a warm embrace and soft whisper.

  1. Close your eyes,
    Have no fear,
    The monsters gone,
    He's on the run and your daddy's here,

    Beautiful,
    Beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful Boy,

    Before you go to sleep,
    Say a little prayer,
    Every day in every way,
    It's getting better and better,

    Beautiful,
    Beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful Boy,

    Out on the ocean sailing away,
    I can hardly wait,
    To see you to come of age,
    But I guess we'll both,
    Just have to be patient,
    Yes it's a long way to go,
    But in the meantime,

    Before you cross the street,
    Take my hand,
    Life is just what happens to you,
    While your busy making other plans,

    Beautiful,
    Beautiful, beautiful,
    Beautiful Boy,
    Darling,
    Darling,
    Darling Lincoln.

  2. Are you a poet or just passing on someone's intellectual property? :-)

  3. Yes, I stole it. It's John Lennon's song about his son Sean. I thought of it instantly when I saw these photos of Lincoln.
