I am so stealing this story at bedtime tonight ... :-)
Listen, my child, and I’ll tell you a rhyme,
of long ago places and a far away time,
a poem of Princes, and wizards, and Kings,
who fought mighty dragons and wore magic rings,
and ruled with an iron hand.Listen, my child, and then, off to sleep,
and, as you lie in slumber deep,
dream dreams of the tale I tell to you,
If you dream hard enough, they may come true,
and wouldn’t that be grand?Listen, my child, as I tell you my tale,
of Knights Errant, in shining mail,
But Alas! I guess my rhymes will keep,
for I see you are already asleep.Good night, my child,
Sweet dreams, my child,
of your own.

Tracy - I made one up! I couldn’t remember the poem on its own, so I started singing it to remember the words - and now she hums the tune when she wants me to sing it for her =)
Dandy - The hummingbirds are taking over the world!
Elizabeth - Wow, that’s awesome! I’ll shoot you an e-mail tomorrow morning =) Thank you so much!
