The Secret of Babysitting

I was babysitting a few weeks ago and was having trouble getting all of the kids to get in bed and stay in bed. They all share a room so when one got up and started jumping around, the others felt like they needed to also. I remembered a song I had heard that I thought was perfect to fall asleep to so I told them that if they would all lay down in their beds and were quiet, I would play them a song. I found the song through an app I have on my phone called Sound Cloud so once they were quiet I pulled up the song on my phone and played it quietly so that if they wanted to heard it, they had to remain still and silent. This is the song I played. (By the way, the original versions of all of these songs are clean).

After that was over, I just searched for piano covers of songs in the app and the first one I found that I was familiar with was this song. By the end of this song, two of the four kids I was babysitting had fallen asleep.

Next, I (accidently) clicked on this song (but what kid doesn't like Frozen?).

What I meant to click on was this song (which almost but me to sleep as well).

This music is great to put kids to sleep, yourself to sleep, or even just give you a sense of peace. The piano is a beautiful instrument that is very relaxing to play and listen to.

Please share with your friends or anyone you think may need some peace or uplifting. That is my goal in making this blog; to help, encourage, and uplift others through music.

Thank you! I will try super hard to post more on this blog (and my modesty blog as well).
