Does anyone sing more than just lullabies to their young kids?

 I do. She's two right now. I sing her Bob Marley and Red Hot Chili Peppers..Blue on Black.. whatever country song I've heard recently..  basically whatever pops into my head. Always have. Bob Marley saved us during her colic days. I changed the words to "No Woman, No Cry".. "Do you remember all the good poops you've had? And the pacifiers thrown in parking lots? Good toys you've had, good toys you've lost..along the way.." lol You should see the looks people gave me back then. But hey, I would think they'd rather hear that than her crying. She always has cried like a ten year old's voice box was switched with her newborn one. Most pissed off ten year old you've ever heard.

But anyways, I was thinking about it, probably because I'm on youtube listening to RHCP right now, and this is what my mom did with me, too. She did different songs of course. Songs of her old ass era. heh heh heh I should tell her I just said that.  

what about you, ladies? Just curious.

Yes all the time! We do kid music too. But I play her regular radio and sing it to her and she dances. She also dances when DH plays rap/hip hop. She loves all music.

1 mom liked this

 They will remember, though. And do the same with their children, I bet. They are warm memories.
