Magical Classical

Every night for his bedtime routine I brush his teeth (all two of them) and we sit down in the rocking chair under a blanket and I read him at least two stories. I have found a great companion in the library so that I never tire of the same book every night. Mason has developed a favorite book which is read at the end of the story session - "Monday the Bullfrog". After the story time I swaddle him and we rock some more but this time to the tunes of 89.9fm aka what I call our Magical Classical music. I am amazed at how wonderfully this works for settling him down. He snuggles up and quietly falls asleep as we listen to the likes of Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi, and one of my favorites Brahms. I never thought I would listen to this genre by choice but I have taken quite a liking to it. Some nights are more of a fight than others to get him to bed but for the most part Magical Classical does the trick.
