It was the song my bridesmaids walked down the aisle to so it's really special to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1/page/2#post-1729493 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 13:11:27 +0000 twodoghouse 1729493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing them a lot of Beatles and Elton John. When they first came home I thought I had to sing baby songs, but I didn't know any. So I ended up singing Christmas songs. They got a lot of midnight Jingle Bells the first two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1/page/2#post-1729459 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 12:32:11 +0000 anandam 1729459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I love that Mary Poppins song! Have tried it as a lullaby but turns out the only lyrics I know are the title.<br /> I should look it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1/page/2#post-1729457 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 12:30:41 +0000 anandam 1729457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The songs that DS seems to like best are "Moon River," "Que Sera Sera," and an old classic in my family we call "Let the Rest of the World Go By" (not sure if that's the real name). Also some Gospel like @Fronkinzankinsbride: mentioned.</p> <p>In a real baby meltdown, DH has great success pulling down the guitar or ukelele and playing some Disney "When you wish upon a star," etc. or old blues/Appalachian music. Seems LO's favorite is "Railroad Blues" by Sam McGee.</p> <p>I haven't even thought to try the baby classics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1/page/2#post-1729451 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 12:13:05 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1729451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swing low, sweet chariot<br /> Will the circle be unbroken<br /> I'll fly away<br /> Down to the river to pray</p> <p>Didn't leave nobody but the baby - Gillian Welch from O brother where art thou.<br /> Sweet Tooth by Dave Rawlings Machine.</p> <p>and You are my sunshine on a never ending loop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1/page/2#post-1728341 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:22:29 +0000 Ash 1728341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: lol!

Kids songs, non kid songs, and lots of songs that I had memorized from choir in college. Latin plainchant makes a good lullaby :)</p> <p>I sing her "Stay Awake" from Mary Poppins every night before she falls asleep, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1728298 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:57:16 +0000 delight 1728298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing lots of typical baby songs or I make up my own songs. When she was a newborn I used to sing the lullaby, Hush Little Baby don't say a word, mamas gonna buy you a mockingbird. Except those were the only lyrics I knew. So all my versus were about buying her a new iPad, or new iPhone...I should have written it all down, DH thought I was a wacko. I've since looked up the real lyrics. Man that lullaby is long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1728283 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:46:55 +0000 Applesandbananas 1728283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing him country music, whatever song I know a lot of the words to :) </p> <p>We listen to Spotify ALOT and mostly just new country. I have a kids playlist for him, but it's more fun to belt out Florida-Georgia Line or Joe Nichols than Old MacDonald... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1728243 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 19:14:24 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1728243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing a lot of everything! Baby songs that I knew already or have learned since she was born, old camp songs and random song I know. I also make up lyrics a lot (my mom has always done it, so it's a habit from childhood and I used to sing stuff to my dog.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1728183 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 18:38:42 +0000 fussygal 1728183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing a lot of the standards (twinkle, twinkle, row your boat, itsy bitsy spider, etc.), but I make up SO many! I never thought I'd be one to make up silly songs for my kid, but I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727976 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:37:55 +0000 coopsmama 1727976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: same here. DS gets a lot of Jesus Loves Me. It's usually all I can think of on the fly!</p> <p>I really need to get a playlist of typical children's nursery songs and listen to it for awhile so I can introduce some of the classics to him. I know parts of all of them but not the entire thing so I never sing them to him and I want him to grow up knowing them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727974 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:37:04 +0000 keiki_mama 1727974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was singing Ru Paul's Cover Girl to LO in the car the other day... so yeah... Mom award right here!! LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727966 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:32:39 +0000 loveisstrange 1727966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twinkle, Twinkle. ABCs. Itsy Bitsy Spider. Hush Little Baby. Were the most common nursery songs we sung.</p> <p>I'd say Isnt She Lovely was the non-baby song we sung to her a lot. Really, we were always playing music (normally "regular" music) and singing, so she heard a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727962 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:29:28 +0000 nana87 1727962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mix of baby and non-baby songs! I change the lyrics a lot though to be about lo, like instead of "Mary had a little lamb" I sing "mama loves her baby girl" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727922 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:11:36 +0000 seabsher 1727922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing childhood songs I remember, or look up the lyrics to ones I have forgotten. I have also made up songs for my LO. I like to sing You Are My Sunshine, but usually end up singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes or The Barney Song. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727903 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:04:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1727903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>random songs I like- or he likes! He loves I like to move it move it and we are the dinosaurs lol. He does like twinkle twinkle, and I also sing Sleepsong by Secret Garden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727898 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:03:10 +0000 Cherrybee 1727898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing lots of baby songs....

Also I sing "rock me mama like a wagon wheel" when I'm rocking him to sleep. Haha</p> <p>Just when we're up and about I sing everything. I'm so bad but he just loves it. Which is good enough for me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727754 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:22:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1727754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: LOL - love that face</p> <p>I didn't sing much to DD1, but that's because I couldn't remember the songs. Now that DD1 is older and learns songs at daycare (and then we sing at home together), I sing them to DD2 as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727747 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:21:14 +0000 Canoli 1727747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing some nursery rhymes but when I forget the words I make up my own and try to keep the same tone or I just make up ridiculous songs to try and make him smile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-sing-to-your-lo-1#post-1727746 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:21:00 +0000 cascademom 1727746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Wheels on the Bus, You are my Sunshine, Itsy Bitsy Spider.
