The end of the day for little ones is nigh.
The Batsman and the Bowler are all clean, bundled in warm pyjamas.
Faces shining, hair still a little damp.
They perch on the couch, books and favourite toys close.
Dinner hour craziness is an escaping memory.
The lure of a peaceful house beckons.
Little boys eyes are expectant as the Captain and I join them on the couch.
And then it is upon us.
One of the sweetest moments in the day.
As Giggle and Hoot serenade my boys to bed.
Hoots Lullaby
What a day its been, What a magic day Shhhh can you hear the moon is on its way.
It's time for all the stars, that sparkle in your eyes, to fly through the night and light up the sky.
What a day its been, laughing with our friends, now that the sun has sunk into its bed.
It's time for Hoot to go and watch over you at night, fill your head with sweet dreams under soft moon light.
And soon the smiling sun will rise again... and light the way to a bright new day.
"see you in the morning"... hoot hoot
Both the Batsman and the Bowler's eyes light up when Giggle and Hoot grace the screen and especially so during the "goodnight song".
And for me, the proudest mum in the world, it's just one of those wistful, sweet, sweet moments where I receive the gift of watching my children while they are enthralled in something they love.
Sweet, sweet love.
What are the sweetest moments in your day? Do you love Giggle and Hoot?

ReplyDeletePS. I'm going to take my blog private in a week or so... and would love to keep sharing my journey with you. Email me on newyearmum@gmail.com for me to add your email to my list xoxo
We are learning to love Giggle and Hoot! All this is so new to us, but we have a little boy who is slowly taking more interest in the TV and a mama who is at this point, happy to let it happen (in small doses) for some moments of peace during the day (and more to the point, the moments of peace I will need in the months to come!) Play School is still our favourite though. It is the "teddy bear show" for Angus, as he just LOVES waving to Little Ted in the opening and closing credits as he bounds up in to the house. It is seriously cute! He's also a big fan of the train clock.
ReplyDeleteYour moment on the couch sounds so lovely. Our little man is in the bath, being watched by Daddy, which is why I've been afforded this luxury of reading your blog!
That quiet house is now minutes away.... (so is a very tasty dessert!)

My youngest LOVES Giggle and Hoot. She gets so excited to see them and often asks for the TV to be put on.
ReplyDeleteMy sweetest part of the day are the less chaotic afternoons where there is still time for cuddles and chats in between getting dinner and keeping bedtime routines.
And the added one now is listening to the older two discuss the goings on at school. It's amazing!
