Grandpa Time Time goes by n the blink of an eye but in the meantime enjoy all the little moments, holding a child as you rock them to sleep, making faces and funny baby noises to your infant. The sound of a rocking chair, singing lullabies, even changing diapers and burping can be on occasion to celebrate. The is one of my granddaughters. Breath deep repeat and keeping rocking to slumber land. My sandman sing me a song.

PS : Ask Alexa, Spotify, Siri and Amazon to play some music by JOHN WILLIAM HAMMOND (use all 3 names) a great mix of joyful songs.
