Eventually , I thought up a song that would involve actions which I knew would tire her and it worked wonders!
So here goes my song!
Click your fingers
Click your fingers
Rub your tummy
Rub your tummy
Ride your bicycle –literally pretend pedal while sleeping on your back as if riding a bike !
Ride your bicycle – amid all the giggling .. this could go on for 4 or 5 times !
Wave, wave your hands
Dancing and dancing!
And all fall down...pretend all are in sleepy land!!
It worked like magic...10 years later , we still sing the song to my nephews and nieces!
The best memory I have of her singing it or at least trying to sing it...and still trying to do the actions while half asleep...I was such a proud mama!
What a blast !
