Do you have a song for LO?

btartaroind · October 2012

In reading the Nicknames post I was trying to think in my head of all the nicknames that we call JB and ended up singing "his song" in my head. I made up a song for him and always sing it. It is now my surefire way to get him to smile for pictures. Anyway did you make up a song for LO? Mine is simple but goes:

"His name is Jameson, His name is Jameson! J-A-M-E-S-O-NNNnnnNNNnnnnNNN!"

We have SO MANY songs for him. Only a few are total originals though... mostly I've rewritten a ton of songs to be about him. Everything from kids songs, to classic rock, to hymns -- I don't sing the altered hymns around anyone else because that would probably be frowned upon! Hmm

Have you ever heard Gracie by Ben Folds? I just change Gracie to Laura or Rory when I sing it to her. I love that song

I sing constantly to Aria. It's usually something made up, about whatever we're doing at the moment. She thinks I'm hilarious. I'm not sure if it's because I am, in fact, the funniest person on earth or because the songs are horribly off-key.

The go-to that gets me 10 seconds of non-crocodile-death-roll time during a diaper change is "toes in the air, toes in the air, looking quite fair with your toes in the air!" ...and the shame of it is that it's to the tune of "pants on the ground". Tongue Tied

As for "real" songs for her, "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder will forever be Aria's song to me. I used the lyrics to let my fb friends/family know that we were having a girl... and I'm pretty sure hubs sang it to her in the hospital one night when he thought I was sleeping. (he changed the names to Aria and Lancy though... so sweet) I may have dreamed that... but it's Aria's song either way. The words fit perfectly.

"You are my Sunshine" is my go to song for Eli. I'll also sing "Good Night Sweetheart" to him at bed time, and fit his name in there. Then I have a ton of made up songs as well.

I sing Twinkle Twinkle in different keys to make it more interesting. I also do "Hayley" had a little lamb instead of mary. And lately I've been singing "True Colors" from her Glee CD (it helps her fall asleep)

This reminded me... My dad sings to the grandkids "Mary had a little lamb, the nurse was quite surprised" LOL

"Good Morning to You" is the standard when I have to wake him up in the morning. On the changing table, I sing Edelweiss (from Sound of Music), L-O-V-E, The Way You Look Tonight, As Time Goes By, and lots of other oldies. I volunteer with a singing troupe that sings in nursing homes, so I always have a lot of older songs on my mind. Before DS was born, when I'd be singing with the group, he'd always be bouncing and kicking in my belly, so I guess he likes it!

We sing sons from early intervention. There's a special party cake song, we sing "row row row your boat" while rowing her arms to help with cross body movement, we do the itsy bitsy spider and move her ands and arms to do the movement. She loves singing.

Oh yes we have a song called "Go to Teddy Bear Land". IT's about going to Teddy Bear Land in our dreams. And playing with all the teddy bears.

LO's name is Caroline and so of course her song is "Sweet Caroline". We went to a game at Fenway and DH recorded it and it is now his ringtone. I also sing "You are my Sunshine" to her every night while we are rocking to sleep.

I sing Ramona the song "Ramona" by Beck and "To Ramona" by Bob Dylan. Also "My Sharona" changed to "my Ramona".
