My mom sang to us until I was about three and looked at her and said, "Please Mommy, don't sing." Lol she still likes to remind me of that...she's a bit tone deaf :-) I plan to sing to my kids, hopefully they'll be more forgiving haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-482094 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 22:35:31 +0000 MamaCate 482094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: YouTube is great for learning the words to songs you know parts of...when I stayed home during my maternity leave I tried to add a song every few days so I didn't get bored. I also got cds of children's songs from the library and added them to itunes so we added to our song repertoire that way too. </p> <p>LO loves the rubber ducky song from sesame street, which we learned by watching you tube, plus five green speckled frogs, frere jacques, c is for cookie. We also make up a lot of songs for her--spelling her name, talking about her and what she is doing. frere jacques is a great easy melody to use for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-482039 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 22:05:09 +0000 mrsjazz 482039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Oh I don't sing the song well either.</p> <p>I just started singing another song to her--my friend told me about it--it's by the Olsen twins when they were little: Broccoli and Chocolate, so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-482007 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:53:19 +0000 prettylizy 482007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I sing the Lauryn Hill version of that song too (not well mind you)</p> <p>I sing "If all the rain drops were lemon drops and gumdrops..." song, a lot of Beatles music (Blackbird, Elanor Rigby, Here Comes the Sun) and then I just make up silly songs for her. Lately I've been singing to her about being my little coconut because she smells soooo good from all the coconut oil I've been putting on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-481999 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:50:34 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 481999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: hahaha. I, too, have done this, along withy high school alma mater - my 8th grade self didn't imagine that memorizing it in music class would come in handy later in life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-481985 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:47:46 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 481985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: ohh forgot about Baby Baluga - I had the Rafi album memorized growing up, so I could totally tap into that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-481955 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:29:11 +0000 cvbee 481955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ABCs<br /> I sing a lot of classic and new kids songs, but ABCs are the ones we sing the most. Last night it was the only thing that would keep LO from screaming; pretty sure I sang it a hundred times. Sometimes I sing it in French or I say "let's do the letter sounds!" or I just hummm it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo#post-481931 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:17:45 +0000 tororojo 481931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sing Soft Kitty to my baby bump.

The issue is that I only know the words to Christmas carols. Silent Night was fine in December but I feel a little silly singing it now. Oh well! What's your favorite song to sing to your LO? </p>
