Do you sing a special song at night when it's bedtime? If so, what do you sing?
I sing..... The Seekers-Morningtown Ride. My dad used to sing it to me every night when I was a kid

I used to sing her twinkle twinkle little star every night. It was her favorite song!
Now she prefers to have books read to her.
-
I sing twinkle twinkle little star too! I have been since the day we brought her home.
-
ABC and twinkle twinkle little star
-
Row row your boat. Sometimes he'll request cookie monster's song, or elmo's ducks song. It used to be twinkle twinkle little star but he went through a boats phase so we switched to that
-
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.
-
I sing her lullabye and goodnight every night and nap but I make up my own lyrics
-
I sing "Jesus Loves Me" to her, and sometimes I break out in "Courageous" by Casting Crowns, since it was on my labor list.
-
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.
-
Yes! 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
-
Ants go marching every night while we put on pjs
-
We sing Now I Lay Me during his prayers and then while we're rocking him with his bottle we sing to him...lots of random songs. We always finish with a good night camping song that DH's family always sings.
-
I sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to DD
-
@evansjamie: I sing Jesus Loves Me to my lo too! We also have a Mommy Loves Me and Daddy Loves Me version too that I made up.
-
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.
-
I sing Twinkle Twinkle after nursing, then we say our prayers and then in the crib.
-
We have a whole repertoire (bearing in mind I am the world's worst singer!). 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
-
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.
-
no...which is probably best for all involved haha
-
@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.
-
@Ree723: I love your selections! So funny! Do you sing the whole songs or just the chorus?
-
@travellingbee: Haha, I know, so weird! 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.
-
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.
-
I sing lots of songs. 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
-
We sing Animal Crackers, Teddy Bears' Picnic and Sing a Song before bed and naptime.
