Naptime

I tucked the littlest I live with into bed this afternoon, and sang with him,

Twinkle twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond, in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

When I was little my mom used to open and close her hands like stars in the sky while singing it.

I waited outside his door to make sure he stayed in bed and heard him whispering,

"Twinkle twinkle, twinkle twinkle".

Peaked in to see his hands in the air, like stars.
