Getting Kiara to Sleep

Kayleigh was the only one that could get her little sister Kiara to sleep - she seemed to have the touch. Each night she would lay down with her a sing to her and tell her stories. The songs that she sung to Kiara were not traditional lullabies or even childrens songs, the one Kayleigh sung to Kiara were:

• Castle on a Cloud (from Les Miserables)
• I dreamed a Dream (from Les Miserables)
• The Rose (Bette Midler)
• Eternal Flame (The Bangles)
• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ( and our silly versions)

Around Christmas Kayleigh would sing Kiara Christmas Carols - with the favourite ones being:

• I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus
• Silent Night
• Away in a Manger

We all miss Kayleigh getting Kiara to sleep - especially as Kiara is now awake until 10pm because she won't go to sleep without her Kayleigh.
