many years ago, we often babysat our grand daughters, I'd take the oldest at the time... bout two years old, throw her on my shoulders and we'd go off walking the neighborhood, I'd be singing James Taylor songs to her, which would put her to sleep rather fast. I'm not sure if it was my singing, or JT's lyrics that did the trick, but at least it worked. Also, a globe earth? You do realize the earth is flat, don't you? That's why you have to be careful not to get too close to the edge! :-)
