Speaking of sweet memories... if you don't mind, I'm going to post in Spanish and then translate. My mom used to tell me stories about family members... loving stories.

A la ru ru ruru,
A la ru ru ya - just a calming sound
Duremase mi nina - go to sleep my little girl
Y duremase ya... - it's now time to go to sleep

Esta chiquitita - this little one
fue a ver a su tia - went to see her auntie...

And from there she'd make something up or retell something that had happened between one of my aunts or the other... or a cousin, or my dad, or whoever came into her mind. LOL Rather than putting me to sleep, most of the time she'd make me giggle.
