Yes, especially when ds was younger. I would sing him all of the standards excepts You Are My Sunshine. I looked up the words to the rest of the song one day and it was very depressing.
Oddly though, ds favorite song was Elvis' It's Now or Never. I don't know why I started singing it to him, or why he liked it, but it would always calm him down.
Re: Do you sing to your baby?
I sing all kinds of songs to him ALL the time but usually am just making them up.
hush little baby
I love you a bushel and a peck
rock a bye baby
go to sleep...
All the time.
Some of our favorite songs/games are:
Old McDonald...you could go on forever
Pattycake
Itsy Bitsy Spider
This Little Piggy
Dh and I make up songs, a lot... it's pretty funny but probably only to us and torture to anyone else listening :-)
Aidan's favorite song is the Itsy Bitsy Spider - he also like The Wheels on the Bus -- anything silly we can jump around and dance like crazy to :-)
Baby Mine
What a Wonderful World
Twinkle Twinkle
Itsy Bitsy Spider
A Whole New World (Aladin)
Old MacDonald
ABC's
Baa Baa Black Sheep
10 Monkey Jumpin on the Bed
You Are My Sunshine
