You are a good Mama. And Michael is a good Papa. (I note these facts for morale purposes, sick baby time is rather dispiriting.)
True, albeit funny story, to this day one of my kids (now 30 years old) will sometimes call when she's ill because she wants me to sing to her, long distance at day time rates. And I cannot do it without either rocking in my chair, pacing back and forth or swaying from side to side in time to the music. The 'sing to sick child' mode is imprinted at muscle memory level for me.
