Singing to LOs

What do you all sing to your LOs?

 Whenever I sing to LO its always You are My Sunshine... sometimes when I change his diaper its Old MacDonald or Twinkle Twinkle...

...For the life of me, I cannot remember all of the kids' songs I knew from way back when...

Give me some more inspiration!!!

Re: Singing to LOs

  • Itsy Bitsy Spider...and I do the hand motions. He freaking loves it.

    And I totally caught my DH singing "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston to Reed last night. It was pretty awesome. Hahahaha!

  • First I LOVE your siggy pic!!!

    i sing (well it's more a poem I guess but i add my own tune) one that may be less well known it goes:

    Round and round the garden like a teddy bear (swirl your finger in a circle in palm of LOs hand)

    One step (take a "step" with your fingers up baby's arm)

     Two step (take another step)

    TICKLE you under there (tickle under arm)

  • I sing a lot of the ones already mentioned but 2 others that come to mind are Animal Fair...not sure if that's the real name of it but my mom used to sing it to me and it gets guaranteed giggles from LO and also I've Been Working on the Railroad.

  • While doing his baby massage I sing "Hush Little Baby", "ABC's", "Twinkle Little Star", "Rock a Bye Baby", and "Ba Ba Black Sheep". Then, as I put him to sleep I sing "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore".
