Wyatt songs

Every night, I sing "Baby Don't You Cry" to Wyatt at least once. I have sung this song to him every day for at least the past two years. "Sing Baby!" he's said since he could talk. I can sing this song without even thinking about it. But it's so much better when I really think about it. Such a cute song.

Now, I follow up with "Twinkle Little Star" (although sometimes he requests the sillier version of "Twinkle Little Fart"... don't ask. Ok, you asked. "Twinkle twinkle little fart, how I wonder what I ate, hanging out around the air. Wish that you were over there. Twinkle twinkle little fart, how I wonder what I ate."

You asked.

There are a few other songs that are stand-bys if he is having a rough time going to sleep.

"You Are My Sunshine" is one, with added verses "you are my sweetheart" and "you are my Wyatt".

Then there are a few I made up...

"You're my little sweetheart, it's true
And you know that I love you
Yes I do, yes I do
You're my little sweetheart, I know
And you know that I love you so
Love you so, love you so"

and

"You're my little puffalump
My little sweetie-heart
My little cutie-pie

You're my little cutie-pie
My little sweetie-heart
My little puffalump

Aaaaaand I love you
Aaaaaand I love you
Aaaaaand I love you, I love you, I do"

I used to sing "Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, little Wyatt. Mommy loves you, yes she does, but you need to go to sleep. Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little Wyatt. Go to sleep, go to sleep, little Wyatt, please sleep" back when he was a baby and had the hardest time falling asleep. But I haven't had to resort to that in a long time!

I still remember when I tried "Unchained Melody" when he only had a few words. I hit that high note, and he just shook his head no.

Anyway, I am glad he likes to listen to me sing. It brings me a lot of joy to know that something I love brings comfort to him. Now if I could only get him into the songs I really like to sing. ;)
