Country songs

Last fall, as we were driving from the Cape to town, we'd hear this occasionally on the radio. I don't think it became a big hit, and I never got tired of hearing it despite the sappiness. Peter does sleep in the middle sometimes, especially in the mornings when he wakes at 4 and nurses every hour until 6 or 7, when he might take a nap. It's not always quite as sweet as it seemed when I was listening to this song before he was born: sometimes when he's just about asleep, he starts to thrash around, and whacks me until I move over or take him back to his bed. On other days, though, he sleeps quietly and wakes up sweetly smiling with his eyes still closed.
