I had to share this story about my 9-month old because I thought it was pretty funny

My husband and I both work full-time, but we are lucky enough to have my parents watch our daughter while we’re at work. My dad is a HUGE fan of the singer, Charice, so somewhere along the way, he got our baby to love Charice too. If you watch the show, Glee, you may know Charice as the girl who plays the character, Sunshine Corazon, the transfer student from the Philippines who joined the rival glee club, Vocal Adrenaline. Our daughter loves Charice so much, that we kept the Glee episode with her singing the song “All by Myself” on our DVR because watching Charice‘s performance calms her down when she starts getting fussy in her bouncer.

My poor baby has been teething so it was really difficult for her to stay asleep last night. We ended up having her sleep in our bed with us because nothing seemed to work in putting her to sleep in her crib. So we tried singing her to sleep…the “Lullaby Song” didn’t work, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Didn’t Work”, none of the regular baby songs seemed to help our little girl stay asleep. I started humming “All by Myself”, and she finally fell asleep! Yay! But then, whenever I stopped humming, she woke up…ugh! So what did we end up doing? My husband went to Amazon on my phone and bought Charice’s “All by Myself” mp3 single from the Glee soundtrack for $0.99, and it played from my phone all night long. We all slept like babies

Now, I can’t get that song, “All by Myself” out of my head! Lol!

Are there any songs or artists that automatically calm your child down? Leave me a comment below!
