And i used to think Alexis' three-day labor was hard. At least everyone spoke English. A hint: It really doesn't matter what you sing a baby, just remember you will have to sing it for at least 5 and counting years. And it must be sung exactly alike everytime. Any deviation may mean nuclear meltdown. There is nothing more rewarding on the face of God's green earth, however, than successfully singing a child asleep in your arms. Especially if your wife tried for three hours and you get it in two stanzas. Best of luck. Bake.     Date September 9, 1999 Name daniel c wiecek Email wiecekd@nimo.com City syracuse State New York Comments Kaylee: You have found two special people (Cindy and John, your parents) that will love you more that you will ever imagine.
