Whatever I'm feeling like that day but usually the Beatles at night, like Blackbird or Let it Be. Every morning though, I sign It's a Good Day Peggy Lee when I come in to the nursery and open the blinds and turn of the night light. She go nuts :-) dojo on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1147265 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 23:59:12 +0000 dojo 1147265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't sing every night but I like to sing to him. No songs in particular just whatever comes to mind. Lately it's been Your Song, For the Longest Time, and Bohemian Rhapsody. I usually just end up singing the same parts of songs over and over.

My MIL is somewhat appalled I sing In the Ghetto to my baby but I love that song, and it's what inspired me to become a social worker (so lame, I know) so I will continue to sing it! I sing the full versions of each of those songs, although I change the second verse lyrics a bit in You Are my Sunshine (instead of 'when I woke dear, I was mistaken, so I hung my head down and cried', I sing 'when I woke dear, I saw you smiling and my heart just filled up with love'). :-) ETA: I just googled the lyrics to You Are My Sunshine and apparently there are way more verses than I sing! So, no, I guess I don't sing that sing in its entirety! I always thought there were two verses and that was it, oops. travellingbee on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1147138 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 21:05:50 +0000 travellingbee 1147138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Ree723: I love your selections! So funny! Do you sing the whole songs or just the chorus? travellingbee on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1147132 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 21:04:14 +0000 travellingbee 1147132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrsjets: I was singing this in the tub to LO today! I sing "You are my sunshine" and sometimes add on "Power of two" by the Indigo girls. My DH just makes up silly songs to sing him but at 7 months he doesn't seem to care. :) GrapeCrush on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1147108 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:50:55 +0000 GrapeCrush 1147108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ no...which is probably best for all involved haha Mrsjets on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1147100 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:47:39 +0000 Mrsjets 1147100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ After reading books, we turn off the lights and I sing Skinnamerink (Sharon Lois and Bram from the 80's) once and then hum it once while we cuddle/rock in the glider, then he goes in his crib. I do this for every nap/bed time. DH just reads and then rocks him for a couple mins, no singing lol.

I don't sing to her every night but I do love the snuggle time when I do. I also love that she recognises the songs I sing to her when she hears them elsewhere and will always stop to listen. I sing, in this order: Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head - Leaving on a Jet Plane - In the Ghetto - You are my Sunshine - Unchained Melody Smurfette on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146807 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 15:09:13 +0000 Smurfette 1146807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sing Twinkle Twinkle after nursing, then we say our prayers and then in the crib. bhbee on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146789 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 14:55:57 +0000 bhbee 1146789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sing to her every nap time and bedtime, after we read. usually one song in the room and a couple after we close the door, from the hallway, which helps her settle. we always sing the goodnight song (using her name) from The Music Man. I also sing Shenandoah, Loch Lomond, the Goodbye song from Music Together - I'm not sure how they all got into the routine but now I can do it while reading in the hallway if she needs it! really helpful in strange places (hotels, etc) too. marionberry on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146758 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 14:05:00 +0000 marionberry 1146758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @evansjamie: I sing Jesus Loves Me to my lo too!

Made up songs or real songs...either works. I sing him silly songs when he's in the tub. When he laughs he tips his chin up and I can get his neck clean :) Espion on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146667 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:02:07 +0000 Espion 1146667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There was this one time I ran out of songs to sing, which is how I ended up singing "My country tis of thee..." at 2 AM in the morning... We sing all kinds. :) Yellow Submarine, On Top of Spaghetti, etc. plus the songs from his toys which are permanently etched into my brain. avivoca on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146655 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:53:41 +0000 avivoca 1146655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sing "Jesus Loves Me" to her, and sometimes I break out in "Courageous" by Casting Crowns, since it was on my labor list. yellowbird on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146652 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:51:53 +0000 yellowbird 1146652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sing her lullabye and goodnight every night and nap but I make up my own lyrics :) ALV91711 on "Do you sing to your LO at night?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sing-to-your-lo-at-night#post-1146643 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:45:51 +0000 ALV91711 1146643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We sing at nap time and read at bed time. So three naps means singing three times a day. And usually 6+ songs each time.

Sometimes he'll request cookie monster's song, or elmo's ducks song.
