中文原文

你白天在家陪宝宝,宝宝玩着玩着开始揉眼睛、打哈欠,看起来困了。你把他抱到婴儿床上,拉上窗帘,调低房间亮度,轻轻拍着他哄睡。没过一会儿,宝宝就安静地睡着了。

My translation

I stayed home with my baby today. After playing for a while, he started to rub his eyes and yawn, looking tired. So I put him onto the baby bed, closed the curtain, turned down the light of the room, then got him into sleep with quiet pat. Just for a while, my baby was asleep quitely.

Revised version
