Jen sings to Aidan when she’s getting him to sleep. Well, hums more than sings, but you get the idea. She hums Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore.

If she’s asleep and Aidan wakes up or fusses, she immediately starts up her humming, even if she’s still effectively asleep. The humming lasts until about “Boat” then drifts off into snores.

Aidan has a habit of “dancing” to any music. His dancing involves sitting and rocking back and forth (worrisome in an adult, incredibly cute in a baby).

These two facts led to an amusing series of events at 4 o’clock this morning:

Aidan started fussing.
Jen started humming.
Aidan sat up and started dancing.
Jen drifted back to sleep after a few notes.
Aidan keeled over and went back to sleep.
