i sit by my son’s bed and sing him a song at bedtime every night some nights after i sing he’ll say he didn’t hear the song because he was thinking of something else he will get super upset if i tell him it’s too late for another song not in a mean way just in a past bedtime way i pretty much always end up singing the song again when this happens because i know he can’t help it and his genuine distress at not hearing the song the first time breaks my fucking heart
