David and I went to see the Vienna Boys Choir perform tonight. They were so adorable and so incredibly talented. We both fell in love with the words to this ancient lullaby.
Sleep softly, my darling child
Yes, my child, you are so beautiful in your crib,
That I feel as if I could not part from you.
I wish you with all my heart the sweetest of rests,
For the angels from heaven tuck you in.
I wonder when parents stop checking on their kids as they are sleeping. It's magical to see them resting so peacefully.

I'm not exactly sure when we stopped checking in to watch our kids sleep. But I can assure you we don't do it anymore! Same reason we no longer own a video camera. They're just not as cute as they used to be.
