Like many parents, Molly Hanten relies on child care for her children while she works. Fortunately for Molly, her parents volunteer to watch their infant grandson twice weekly. This arrangement ensures the baby has loving care and allows Molly to visit on her lunch break. Molly caught the happy grandpa singing a soft lullaby to the baby on one lunch break.

The song brought back memories of her own childhood. It’s the same lullaby her dad sang to her as a child. The grandpa is singing an old Irish lullaby. It is difficult to hear without the volume all the way up, but it is calming nonetheless. The baby is completely enraptured. It’s so relaxing that Molly’s dad might be putting himself to sleep.
In the comment section, Molly actively engages with everyone. She admits she is fortunate to have such an awesome dad. He isn’t the only one to take naptime duties in the glider rocker. On another day, Molly caught her mom in the same position, except the baby was already asleep.
Molly stays busy as the owner-operator of a pilates studio in Wayzata, Minnesota. Molly and two partners opened the Rêve Studio in early 2023. They offer fitness classes for the whole body. Learn more on their Instagram page.
Molly takes time out to poke fun at her husband, who definitely almost died from man-flu in March. It was a drastic situation, but we can assume it resolved itself. She also had some proof that her parents would be awesome grandparents, as she has older nephews. Grandpa entertains them well and even tries to play Pokémon. Notice how calmly Grandpa fulfills his duties as Jungle Gym.
Please share if this grandpa lullaby made you smile.
