The Big Bang Theory

Gregory and I love the "Big Bang Theory" TV series. When Sheldon, one of the series characters, was ill as a little boy, his mother would sing the "Soft Kitty" song to him. Beginning about three years ago, I would often sing it to Gregory when we went to sleep at night. He would always giggle. Now I sing it when he is going to take a nap and it relaxes him and puts him to sleep.

In this photograph he looks so peaceful, thus the name of his bear "Peaceful the Bear." I makes my heart feel good knowing that in this state Gregory is not troubled, or concerned, or agitated, or worried. Just peaceful. (Not to say that he is not peaceful at other times during the day! A double negative meaning that he IS peaceful at other times!)

Even though he is in a wheel chair, once tipped back everyone needs a blanket to take a nap so I bought this special one only to be used for naps.

Soft Rabbit

Thanks to "The Big Bang Theory," Dr. Sheldon Cooper, and to his mother for the "Soft Rabbit Song." When Gregory was mostly available we would watch the TV show together and always enjoyed the "lullaby." I used to sing it to Gregory at night when we were going to bed.

Now that Gregory is not as available, I sing the lullaby to him when I sense that he is tired and needs to nap. It it puts him to sleep. This afternoon when I recorded this video, he smiled at the first few bars, closed his eyes, and rested into a nap.

Moments like this make me realize yet again how much I love this man!
