Sleepy Music

Pamela posted this on a forum she occasions frequently. The question was " What song do you sing to put your little one down ? "

This was her response .. I didnt want to lose this ..

"Blue Skies," Willie Nelson. I hated that song for a while. When Cub was colicky (it was only an hour per evening for a couple of weeks, but dear GAWD it seemed like so much longer!) I sang it for a solid hour at a time, overandoverandover again. Everytime I stopped he shrieked.

Then we moved on to "Dream a Little Dream," Mama Cass ... miscellaneous Simon and Garfunkel ... "Moon Dance." Oh, and the Baby Blues, which are made up on the spot to a consistent beat/tune.

A variation for every situation! A constant challenge to your creative juices!

Now, of course, he says very seriously, "No, no, Mommy, please don't sing." I try to tell him he used to really dig it, but he's become a critic.
