What do you sing to your baby?

MommyToAshley wrote: I usually sing whatever song is buzzin around in my head...haha. For some reason, Ashley likes when I sing "You are my sunshine". I am the world's worst singer, I can't even hummm in tune! But she always smiles and shakes her bootie when I sing, so I can't help myself.

Oh, when she eats, I sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" .. it helps her to eat. haha.

And, for bedtime, I sing, "Lullabye, And Goodnight, Go to sleep sweet baby" -- Not sure where I heard that but I sing that and "Hush Little Baby"

Haha...just thought of something funny. Did anyone see the episode of Friends when Ross makes the baby smile by singing, "Baby's Got Back"?? Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

TLCDad replied: I sing either "Daddy loves his baby" or "Baby I need your lovin' "
She usually will calm down if she is fuzzy when I sing one of those.

CantWait replied: I sang You are my sunshine all the time to Robbie, that's probably all I ever sang to him I don't think I even really sang Rock A Bye.

I also wrote a small song/poem for him that I would sing to him every once in a while.

That episode of friends was hilarious, I love that song

supermom replied: I like to sing "You Are My Sunshine" and also "Hush Little Baby" depending if we are playing or trying to go to sleep.

Although, I would imagine in a few years, Anders will be like the older ones and say "Mom, please *don't* sing!"

We also sing along to whatever Oldies Rock is on the radio - Anders loves rock n roll of all kinds

Kaitlin'smom replied: Everytime I start singing something I always forget the words to it! I need a cheat sheet so I can remember them so I usually just make things up.

MommyToAshley replied: Good Idea...anyone have a good list of lyrics?

I also make up lyrics too though -- makes it more fun!

Roxworld replied: Besides making up alot of stuf....and man is it ever some goofy stuff...lol I also sing Au Claire de La lune (light of the moon). I speak French, and am planning to teach Aidan as well. He loves that song, and just smiles in my arms while he falls asleep. It was one of my favorites as a child, when my mom used to sing it.

MommyToAshley replied: Awwweee.. That is soo sweet!

ediep replied: I sing mostly made up stuff, but Jason does love itsy bitsy spider

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Au clair de la Lune mon ami Pierrot
Prete moi ta plume pour écrire un mot...

Ma chandelle est morte, je n'ai plus de feu...
Ouvre moi ta porte pour l'amour de Dieu!!




I don't know the other verses...

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Totally... then Rachel tried it! rofl!

Joannerobinm replied: our favorite right now is "the Rainbow Connection"..but I sing all the standards too. I also make 'em up...here's an example

sung to the tune of Oh Holy night:

Sleep through the night...your mom and dad are tired...
it is real late and we all need some sleep. etc...

lol

Roxworld replied: Yeah!!! Thats it!!!

Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit

Je n'ai pas de plume, je suis dans mon lit

Va chez la voisine, je crois qu'elle y est

Car dans sa cuisine, on bat le briquet.



Do you speak French also?
