Singing at Bedtime?

ellcore

Do you sing to your LOs at bedtime? If so, what song? I'm here singing Bear to sleep and curious if anyone else does.

I sing Angel by Sarah McLachlan.

I sing at every naptime.  DH does bedtime routine and he sings too.

I just sing non stop. I love to sing and pretty good. Her radio is also always on our contemporary Christian station. No commercials always music. Usually singin one of those songs. DD1 also sings non stop. She makes up her own songs and they are hilarious.

I only do twinkle twinkle little star as I'm putting him down.

Yes I do. He falls asleep to wheels on the bus every time but I sing to him all the time usually whatever is on the radio in the car or whatever song is stuck in my head. Wheels on the bus drives my husband crazy but it's the only song that little man falls asleep to so I guess we will keep it. They even sing it to him at daycare when he goes down for his naps

You are my sunshine and Baby mine - I can never remember all the words to Baby Mine, I still hum it.

I just started to cry simple because you even mentioned Baby Mine!  I literally cannot watch Dumbo because of that song.  Haven't been able to even since I was a kid

I sing "ho hey" by the Lumineers.  It was in my head for some reason our first night in the hospital and I sang it to him that night and have sung it every single night ever since.  Even on the rare occasion that we were out or my husband put him to sleep, I go into his room and sing it to him while he sleeps whenever I get home.

I sing Billy Joel's Lullaby, and Hush little baby, don't say a word.

OMG! DH had Dumbo on for DS2 just as background and DS2 would sometimes watch it for like a minute or so at a time...anyways, when that part came on, I like started bawling! DH didn't get it and just like stared at me lol

Oh and yes we do sing at naptime and before bed. DH has spoiled our LO and we have to lay down with him in our bed to get him to sleep at naptime and bedtime. So we sing whatever comes to mind. DS2 really likes the Small Potatoes that comes on Disney Junior so we sing that theme song and any song we remember from that. Other times I sing Hush Little Baby and Jesus Loves Me...I try to sing songs I know all the words to.

I sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star once or twice before I put him down, but it doesn't put him to sleep (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it gave him bad dreams--my singing voice is not the best).

I sing all of the time.  My go-to song if he is really upset is "Tomorrow" from Annie.  

Recently, he's really liked "(Sitting on) the Dock of the Bay".  I'll sing John Denver's "The Gambler", "Take me out to the ball game", and some college fight songs (Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State).  He loves the ABC's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star too.

I try to get DH to sing to him, but he won't for some reason.  You can't shut me up though...I have no shame and will sing in a public place if I need to to calm him down.

Typically show tunes at nap and bed time, mostly Wicked (Defying Gravity and For Good). They're the only songs for which I know most of the lyrics.

bingqilin00

Yep! I sing, "Tell Me Why"

lady dixneuf

Oh Wonderwall I sing too

Lullaby gets me too. Sad song about telling your kids that you will die someday!

REALLY?? Noooo! I guess he's saying "Some day we'll all be gone..." 
The bit that used to make me choke up was "Some day your child may cry..." and I'd get all weepy thinking that my teeny tiny little fish was going to be big enough to have a child.
