When my piano teacher Arta told me she had become an aunt, I was so happy for her. Especially because music was always the best way for me to comfort my babies. Whenever they cried, I would sing to them \u2014 sometimes for an entire hour. I had a little repertoire of about ten songs that I repeated over and over again.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n What always amazed me was how different my babies were. Each of them even had their own personal fall-asleep song.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n When my eldest was four years old, he suddenly asked: \u201cMum, can you sing my sleeping song again?\u201d \u201cOf course,\u201d I said\u2026 and I started his favourite: \u201cWhat shall we do with the drunken sailor.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Not exactly what you\u2019d expect \u2014 but it worked!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Did you also sing songs? Or did you have a different bedtime ritual?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Share your creation and your story with #_viswijf<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Level Sizes Materials Used stitches<\/strong> Swatch<\/strong> Sweater with batwing sleeves and a single stripe.
