Maybe there's something about this time of year that makes me learn new lullabies? Last year at the beginning of July, we went blueberry picking, and the same day I stumbled across the Highland Fairy Lullaby, and haven't been able to stop singing it since (much to the children's amusement and much to the husband's dismay...)

Then yesterday, I started singing Summertime at bedtime (you know, and the living is easy...), decided the kids should hear Janice sing it, discovered it was a lullaby (I had no idea, but it makes sense, as long as she is not singing it) from Porgy and Bess and that its writing by Gershwin was inspired by a Ukrainian lullaby. I have no idea if this is the same lullaby, but we then found this Ukrainian lullaby, with a video, that is decidedly not Summertimey, snowy rather, but very soothing and pretty:
