Itsy Bitsy Spider

The babies love itsy bitsy spider

That’s me wearing the moby wrap and the babies in their sleep sacks getting ready for a nap.  Sometimes if they are cranky I will get them ready for a nap (sing the nap time song, put them in their sleep sacks), but then they are too awake to fall asleep right away.  In that case, I sing songs with hand motions for them.  Itsy bitsy spider, wheels on the bus, little bunny foo foo.  I’m looking for some other songs, haha.  It’s a nice wind down until I see the yawns re-emerge (sometimes the sleep sacking wakes them up again), which is when I put the pacifiers in their mouths and read them a story and then sing the sleepytime song.
