...parenting tip of the moment
Singing is also popular. Since the arrival of our child, I've been singing everything. If they don't actually stop crying, they'll at least simmer down enough to see if you're any good. They'll listen to a few bars, and if you're not good, they'll resume crying...Still the fact that they even give you a chance is remarkable. That they have a legitimate grievance, and are willing to forgo complaining about it in exchange for a song, is, to me, darn decent of them....Next time your wife is upset about something, see what happens if you break into song...It'd never work. But babies, fortunately, are more easily sidetracked.
