Songs you sang to your babies.

1. Two generations

We used to sing this one to my daughter when she was little. She has dark brown eyes:

My daughter used to sing this to my granddaughter. She listened to it a lot when she was pregnant so it seemed to call her down.

2. Love those songs, but much later in my life.

My lover sang "Three little Birds" to me. Thanks for the memory.

3. Oh my. What great memories...

my kiddo is only 14 but still. We’d sing:

Baby Beluga:

The Lion Sleeps Tonight:

4. Sang these with my kindergarten students.

Wonderful memories! Thanks for sharing.

5. We loved Raffi.

We listened to him in the car all of the time while my boys were little. Such memories.

11. We loved Raffi too

[Aristus]

6. I sang my grandson to sleep on many occasions.

He's my step-grandson, actually, the son of my step-daughter. I don't have any kids of my own.

Anyway, he was a very patriotic baby; he fell asleep most often to my rendition of "Shenandoah". For a while, I was the only one in the house he would fall asleep for. My step-daughter would try to get him to go to sleep, fail, then pass him off to Mrs. Aristus. She would try gamely for a while, and when he still refused to drop off, she handed him to me.

I would sing him "Shenandoah", trying hard to emulate Paul Robeson's rich, warm, gobsmackingly beautiful rendition, and he would eventually fall into a deep sleep.

That was years ago; he's going to be twenty in July. Where did the time go?

9. Such sweet memories.

I'm happy for you.

7. ...

I still weep from the sweet memories of singing this to my newborn daughter...

[mia]

12. Such a beautiful song.

I hadn't heard it before today. Thank you.

8. My kids loved this one

10. LOL

I see babies with bulging eyes. I'll bet that made them forget about the reason they were crying.
