Hokey pokey? My DH does this hilarious thing where he sings slow, lulling versions of adult songs in a soothing voice. Like Enter the Sandman and Rhythm is a Dancer.

We sing a lot of songs at bedtime haha
You are my sunshine
The Daniel tiger bedtime song
Sleep song by secret garden (look it up- we sing the chorus and it's such a sweet song!!)
We also song made up words to Brahms lullaby, "go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little (insert name), mama loves you, daddy loves you, and (insert name) loves you too!" -
We sing Puff the Magic Dragon, You Are My Sunshine and Blackbird (Beatles) and Goodnight Irene (Leadbelly).

I gave my love a cherry (the riddle song) is a classic in my family. It's a British lullaby/folk song. Also Autumn to May by Peter paul and Mary.
I think there was a thread about lullabies awhile ago that might help?

Soft kitty!!! Haha

I finally like my line up. It's a good length for when I am rocking him. Otherwise I get bored and try to put him down too soon!
Baby beluga
Moon river
Somewhere over the rainbow
My favorite things@magnolia: that was an awesome thread! I agree.

Favorites in this house: take me out to the ballgame, Star-Spangled Banner, and chicka chicka boom boom

Puff the magic dragon, Christopher Robin and poo, songs from Ariel and Aladin and a goofy song I made up about how much I love him!
-
@woodentulip: oh love Puff the Magic Dragon!!
-
Only songs allowed by the toddler are Wheels on the Bus and Jingle Bells...I am so sick of those two songs!
-
The first verse of Lullabye by Ben Folds and a slightly modified All the Pretty Little Horses. He sings with us, and we sing each one 3x.
When D's home he sings Lula (I will if E asks for it, but he usually only asks Daddy for it...)
-
@magnolia: I sing LO the riddle song too!
Tell Me Why, the Riddle Song, Cowboy Lullabye, are the every night songs. Sometimes I'll sing an extended version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and the Goodnight Song by Laurie Berkner.
