Listening to the lyrics of this classic "Lion King" ballad really got me thinking today. Pat and I have come so far from last summer-well from the beginning of our relationship. I could not ask for a better husband or father to my son. He makes me believe the best in people and I love sitting and staring into his eyes and to watch him sleep (is that creepy? lol) I've always like this song and use to want to dance to it at my wedding, one day. Because of choices we made, that won't happen (though I don't regret it.) Like the words of the song...It's enough for me just to be with my husband and my son-that we got this far. I don't have to have a white dress-I just wanted Pat standing next to me, and that's what I got, and that is what was important. He and I had waited soooo long to see each other. That deployment was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through. Im so glad he came home safe.
Here are an abundance of pictures that have brought us to where we are today-as a family (though it is really only a SMALL fraction of what I have)-
Baby Bear
I started singing the chorus of this song to Ryder at night to get him to go to sleep. He has colic at night so I have to walk with him and I sing different songs to him to pass the time. I downloaded Elton John's version on iTunes, as well as some other slow Disney songs. Ryder absolutely loves Elton John's voice -I do, too- I think he likes males voices in general. The soothing music and his crooning always lulls my baby to sleep. I keep my iPod in his room and it plays his favorite songs all night and helps keep/put him to sleep. (Pretty smart idea if I say so myself, HAHA)
This song means a lot to me and I love the way Elton John sings it to my Baby Bear at night---wish I could sing like that:)
