UltraMom Goes Sappy

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

LINC……Loveable, Incredible, Newborn, Çharmer…..
Yes, it’s true, UltraMom is decidedly going sappy over this little guy she has only met in pictures who weighs less than the bag of potatoes in my cupboard.
I have 7 or 8 photos living in my purse, ready at hand for quick viewing. Everyone in church and Tai Chi class has been so privileged. I’ll catch the guys in my C N A class tomorrow. Several people said I didn’t look old enough for this, and I didn’t tell them I’ve actually been old enough for quite some time. Everyone agrees, as well they should, that he is absolutely adorable.
As previously requested I have been trying to remember the songs I sung to my own babies. I think there were the standards; Rock a Bye Baby, Turaluralura (you know, It’s an Irish Lullaby), There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly (Bob got his first taste of that one from his Grandpa Wesley accompanied by guitar) My own dad used to sing me to sleep with that old Christian standard “In the Garden,” so I’m sure I passed it along. Later, I favored ballads that told a story like Barbry Allen, Cockles and Mussels, Alive Alive 0 and of course The Preacher and the Bear. I learned a few cute ones from some cassettes we had about Dinosaurs in School and Monsters under the Bed that passed the time in the car. But mostly it was just whatever popped into my head, probably including some Carpenter’s tunes.
I check the Duo , Email, Skype and MacGallery ever few hours when I’m home just in case there is anything new about the little guy. Maybe just a little obsessive, but in an entirely healthy way, I’m sure. Btw, do you want to see my baby pictures?

    Rest assured, UltraMom, you’re not the only person obssessed with hearing about Linc. I’ve been checking this site several times a day to see if there is any news about him.

    I have also been checking the site daily to see new pics and showed pics to people who were’nt all that interested because I already love the little guy so much and want to show him off.  I just realized I think I am currently his only Aunt right?

    …and as your name suggests, his favorite.  Of course you are also his least favorite.

    Ummm… Aunt Kathy, I’m pretty sure the request was that you record a CD of you singing your favorite lullabies. Not just make a list. Nice try at getting off easy. Drag out that recorder.

    I’m afraid that UltraChenoa is right.  Time to tidy up the recording studio and get back to producing hits.
