My four children have never been great sleepers. It began when the first child was born and decided that there was so much more to life than sleeping. That message was passed along to each of her three younger brothers and left me absolutely exhausted.
I would call my mom and complain and she would say,
"Bring them to Kentucky. They'll sleep here."
We would pack up and spend the day traveling and when we arrived I would warn again,
"They never sleep through the night."
My mom would cuddle up with her grandbabies and begin to rock, and then sleep would win.
And, yes, they always slept through the night.
Those babies are well on their way to growing up now, but they still say there's no sleep as wonderful as a Kentucky sleep.

Beautiful shot of your mom and babe. What a nice memory too!
Love this.....
That is a great photo! So that's what the secret to a good night's sleep is. I've never been a good sleeper. Maybe I need to move to Kentucky!
So very sweet!
Awww, how sweet is that! Brings tears to my eyes:)
I love that picture. It is so sweet! Thank God for Grandmas!
I love the memories infused with a photograph! This one is so precious.
Thankfully once I fall asleep I tend to stay asleep, but falling asleep sometimes is tough. How very interesting that your kids slept through the night in KY. Grandma's house must have had a calming affect on them. Love the photo :)
so far all my grandgirl does is sleep and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with me...I hope that changes!
As a proud grandma, I loved reading this!
=)
Very sweet story!
I love that picture! It doesn't get any sweeter than that!
Wow, what a touching post!
Awww...That reminds me of Grandpa4444, who always had the babies sleeping on his big, warm chest. Sweet.
What a sweet grandma. May I have her please?
