Sheela Ki Jawani

This song deserves a post of its own.
A2 first heard this song when we went to Bangalore. He was all of 9 months and he took to it the first time he heard it. Add to the mix a doting aunt who sang the song and danced with him and Katrina Kaif had a fan for life.
No matter how miffed or upset he is, this song always cheers him uo. So much so that when I was returning to Chicago and loading the iPad with videos for the kids, my Mom told me that if I had any consideration for A2 I would load "Sheela ki Jawani" Granmoms these days are so with it.
Today A2 had a late afternoon nap and getting him to sleep at night looked impossible. He kept shuttling between his Dad and me and it looked like a long night with him bawling away. None of the usual lullabies were working. Carrying him around didn't work either. Finally inspiration stuck and I hummed "The Song" and my little guy lay right down and was fast asleep in 5 minutes.
