    They're not true lullabies, but I sing "Once Upon A Dream" to LO the most. Her middle name is Rose which I took from Sleeping Beauty...had to go with Aurora's nickname because Aurora was a little out there for us.

    I also sing "Baby Mine" from Dumbo. My mom sang it to me, so it's close to my heart.

    We love Disney up in this piece in case you can't tell. ;)

    I have always ended up resorting to alternating roungs of Twinkle Twinkle and the ABC song since they are the same tune. I think my 2 year old thinks its like the second verse of it now (though she's known her ABC song for a LONG time) :)

    Otherwise, I sing a made up version of Frère Jacques that uses my older daughter's name. It is our "special" song. I don't have one yet for the new baby. I didn't start singing that one to my daughter till she was over a year old. Gotta find something special for her.

    I love Home on the Range. DS I think likes it too. He likes to stare and smile at me while I sing :x

    You Are My Sunshine
    Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars
    ABCs
    Three Little Birds by Bob Marley

    Cute story.  I was in the bathroom and asked DD who is 2 1/2 if she wanted to try to stop the baby from crying in the next room.  She ran out and then I could hear her singing him You Are My Sunshine.  My heart melted a bit!

    My 2.5 year old likes to sing Twinkle Twinkle to the baby when she cries. They can be very sweet at this age :)

    The only songs I know all the words to are from The Sound of Music.

    Here's a few I sing. I like lots of verses to reduce boredom!

    Edelweiss and do re mi - sound of music soundtrack
    Morning town ride - the seekers
    Puff the magic dragon - Peter Paul And Mary
    Sweet violets - can't recall singer, it's a 50s song
    Bridal train - the waifs

    I find a lot of material in folk and 50s songs as they usually have several verses that tell a story (easy to remEmber words) and have a good melody that's easy to sing.

    In addition to the usual nursery rhymes!

    You Are My Sunshine is the one I sing most often and it will always calm him down. If it doesn't work then I know I'm in trouble!

    I also sing Twinkle, Twinkle and the ABCs, I Will Come to You by Hanson (my favorite band), Your Song by Elton John and You've Got a Friend by James Taylor

    Jesus Loves Me is what I sing to him before every naptime. Sovereign Over Us is his favorite song to quiet him when he is fussy.
