What's "Your" Song?

[E-beth]

I was just wondering what songs you and your kids share at special times? I remember my mother singing "Jesus Loves Me" when I was upset and at bedtime.

My son and I share the song "Skinny Marinky Doo", which is strange, but he does some of the hand motions and stops crying when I sing it. It's "our" song.

So what are your special songs... however kooky.

We like to play song a dance in the living room and have a dance party as a family.
Any funky crazy music will do...

my children love to entertain me with dramatic sequences that they choreograph - and they're only 7 and 11, they will dance to pretty much anything and we all share profound love of music.

My son even attempts to emulate the singing style of the wonderful Andrea Boccelli!

Whenever blessed with the opportunity to lay my grandchildren down for a nap or tuck them in at night, I sing the song from the book, "Love You Forever". I just made up a tune to it.

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
as long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."

That is a Robert Munch book. He is a great children's author. When I had to read that picticular one to a group of Children, I would always get something caught in my eye.

AS for Songs. I kinds made up quiet songs around my daughters names that I sing to them as I am cuddling them.

As for fun songs, the Veggie tales songs for Jonah or the ever popular Wiggles are on my daughters top 10 lists.

Uh does anyone find the Wiggles disturbing?

I have to admit, at first I did, but with a two year old I had to get use to them. Now, as sad as it is, I find myself singing some of their songs when my daughter is no where around.

Jesus Loves Me is what I sing to my son and he can sing with me now. He can only say "Jesus", "for the bible", and "so"(at the end) but it is so cute and I'm glad that he is learning it. His next favorite is the ABCs...he's got A-K but he still babbles through LMNOP. He can also sing "now I know my ABCs" and the very last "me". He will be 2 in a month. I love him to peices!!!
