We found out yesterday that Chet and Phyllis will be leaving for China around the 6th of December. That means they should be back around the 18th! What a Christmas present!
When my children were growing up, I had a song that I sang to the boys before they went to bed. It was a song I had heard on a record when I was young. I continued to sing this to my grandsons (and the words can be changed to cowgirl for the girls). It wasn't long ago that when my nine-year-old grandson Andrew stayed overnight, he said, "Grandma, please sing the cowboy song to me again." Our only daughter, the second from the oldest of our children, sang it to her boys; in fact, she recorded it on a teddy bear that her youngest son, Landen, made.
I thought it was so precious that this little "tradition" has carried on. I'm sure I'll have the opportunity to sing it to Matthew.
It goes like this:
Good night daddy's little cowboy,
It's time to round up a dream.
So good night daddy's little cowboy,
Hitch up your sky riding team.
The Lord is the driver and all the night through,
He'll help you round up a dream to come true.
So goodnight daddy's little cowboy,
It's time to round up a dream.
I always let my children and grandchildren finish the last two words.
I sing "It's time to round up..."
And they say, "a deam!" Cute, huh?
Matthew, your grandma looks forward to singing this song to you.
