Friday Fluff: Sleep Eye song

Friday Fluff, anyone?

Remember those days trying to convince the baby to go to sleep?  I sure do.  My first was very colicky and always had a very difficult time getting to sleep.  Too bad I didn't know this song then!

Here is a lovely video called, "Sleep Eye" by Elizabeth Mitchell.  It's from the album, "Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie," which was nominated for a Grammy.  It's available from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, or from her website, www.youaremyflower.org.

It's not your usual lullaby. It's very cute and sweet, but with a little bounce in it, like when you jiggle your baby to soothe her, or dance around a little to help him settle down.  Enjoy!
