Everyone has a bedtime routine. Bath, brush teeth, books....whatever. In our house it's shower, get dressed, brush teeth, three books, dad gives hugs and kisses and a "smash hug" and gets to leave while I remain and ask my children what song they want me to sing to them while up until recently and I put an end to it, would also listen to stories that they would make up and share. I put an end to the stories because it would either get them worked up or they'd be about monsters or something inappropriate to be discussing before bedtime, but I digress. Once they decide from a list of songs that I will share with you shortly, I sing it then we exchange about a million hugs and kisses of different variations and we say, "good night, I love you, see you in the morning, sweet dreams, you're in my heart" a hundred times even as I'm walking out the door until I finally say, ENOUGH! So now it's like twenty minutes later and Brock's snoring.
My point of this post was to remember the songs I sing to them though...
Jake always chooses Rock-aby-Jakey (How do you spell aby?) The Wiggles version, not the original one
Parker's been choosing Somewhere Out There from An American Tail. A memorable movie for me bc 1, I saw it with my Mama and 2, bc I used a huge Fivel doll to stuff under my blanket to look like me sleeping when I really snuck out of the house. Later that huge Fivel was on display in my window to let me know that I was busted.
Our other favorites are:
Mama's Little Baby
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
Batman
Spiderman
Great Green Gobs...
Everybody Walk that Dinosaur
Down Down Baby
The Sun'll come out
Goodnight Sweetheart
Mommy loves you
Ahahaha Baby, ahahaha
And some others, but mostly those. I want to remember this.... <3
