When my youngest daughter was near her youngest age, she had a hard time falling to sleep. She fought it horribly. Back in those days I still had vinyl records. One thing that would put her to sleep was playing Carry on Wayward Son. It didn't have to be quiet. Sometimes we played it rather loudly and she would still nod off. The things I put my kids through!

Great story, Cue. We all do what we can.
