Those can change at any time. Wheels on the Bus was a big one for awhile. But we always end it with We Love You, Conrad (from Bye Bye Birdie and DS's name instead of Conrad) and then You are my Sunshine. I'm pretty sure DS thinks those last two are just one song. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2300323 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:14:59 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2300323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one like you (John Denver), I will (Beatles), Jesus Loves me, Twinkle Twinkle and In my room (Beach Boys)</p> <p>dh sings Frank Sinatra.. sigh.. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299982 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:02:13 +0000 Alba4 2299982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler only wants to hear Twinkle twinkle Little Star and Mr. Sun.

I liked Julie Andrews movies as a kid :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299381 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:14:41 +0000 Mae 2299381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mix it up a little but most frequently I sing her The Way I Am, Sweet Baby James, and How Sweet It Is. Husband sings her anything and everything :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299369 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:08:01 +0000 ineebee 2299369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing "I've Been Waiting" by the Brilliance. It's a beautiful lullaby that also works as a round! I really wanted to take a song that wasn't so common and make it our own. Also, when I was testing different songs on DS when he was super little, he always smiled when I sang this one! So of course it had to be our lullaby! :) </p> <p>"I've been waiting all the day long<br /> To see the stars in your eyes<br /> Love, come dance with me now<br /> And see how the evening flies<br /> As you sleep, my dear<br /> Know that I'll be near<br /> To hold you when you arise." &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299343 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:53:09 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2299343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: Hey Jude-YES! I was lucky enough to see Sir Paul in concert a year ago, and I was very, very pregnant. My son was more active that night than he was the whole pregnancy! The "na, na, na" part at the end is an almost surefire way to get him to sleep on long car trips. LOVE THAT SONG! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299341 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:51:52 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2299341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been singing "In My Life" to my son since he was in utero. When I first saw him in the NICU 2 hours after he was born he was crying, and I started singing it, and he immediately stopped crying and looked at me. Ever since then it's been the only thing that really calms him down when he's upset (he's 10 months now), and I sing it every night before bed. We play it in the car to get him to sleep on the go, too! No, not a lullaby, but it's "our" song and it works :happy: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299336 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:48:26 +0000 littlebug 2299336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: Ahh, yes, I've broken out "Moonshadow" on occasion when D asked for me to keep singing. Love Cat Stevens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299331 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:45:06 +0000 Mrs. J 2299331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Edelweiss, which my mom used to sing to me and was my daddy daughter song at my wedding. Hey Jude, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Stay Awake, You Are My Sunshine, Moonshadow by Cat Stevens...there's more but I can't think of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299247 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:47:47 +0000 erinbaderin 2299247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a long time when he was little my son would only fall asleep to either Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or the theme song from The Monkees.</p> <p>I also used to sing Devil Knows You're Dead (any FNL fans out there? The song from the last montage in the last episode) to him, because I used to play it a lot when I was pregnant and it was "our" song. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299208 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:16:49 +0000 Mrs Panda 2299208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: ah yes, we sing amazing grace sometimes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299199 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 11:12:45 +0000 MrsADS 2299199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is only 1 month old. Mostly I sing slower hymns to him - usually out of whatever is in the church bulletin. The ones I mostly sing are "Just as I Am" and "Be Thou My Vision." (hymn people will probably know them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299169 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:56:51 +0000 jape14 2299169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our standby/nightly bedtime song is Sweet Baby James. If I need more than one song I'll do Moon River and/or You are my Sunshine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-lullabies-do-you-sing-to-you-los#post-2299144 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:33:06 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2299144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby beluga, moon river, somewhere over the rainbow, and my Favorite things.
