When you get sleepy we put you in bed and turn on the Mobile that hangs above your crib. It plays classical music mixed with ocean sounds, as three sea creatures gently move above your head, and you fall into slumber... So we think.
We leave the room, closing the door behind us. In 20 minutes or so we hear you cry. The mobile has completed its cycle. The fish have stopped swimming. You haven't fallen asleep. You want to see more. This happens every time, no matter how sleepy you are. You are fascinated by your friends from the sea.
You quietly follow the movements of the jelly fish, the sea horse, and the good old fish, and move your legs and arms to the music.
When you see us watch, you laugh. You make the cutest sounds.
When your back is turned to your friends, and you only hear the music, you are slightly more likely to fall asleep... after you put up a long battle to fight sleep off. Shhhh...
