This Week’s Topic: Songs You Sing Your Toddler OR Songs That Remind You of Your Toddler
I don’t have a great voice, but I found that after I had my son, I really enjoyed singing with him.
I have a few songs that I made lyrics up to that I sing over and over to him. (Which apparently I stole from Bye Bye Birdie…)
“I love my squishy; oh yes I do.  When he’s not near me; I’m blue…”
When Squish was younger, I sang the Beatles “Blackbird” to him.  I love that song, I love singing it to him.  I really enjoy Evan Rachel Wood’s version.

I also sing “You are my Sunshine“, “Itsy Bitsy Spider“, and “Cars on a Truck“(co-written by Squishy and me!) a lot.
“The Lord Bless You” is another song I sing a lot to my son.
As far as songs that make us think of Squishy:

My hubs says the Star Wars Theme “Imperial March” reminds him of Squishy.

Auntie (who lives with us) says “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult reminds her of Squishy.

As for me, I am having a hard time separating lullabies and fun songs from ones that generally remind me of Squishy, but I would have to say “GodSpeed (Sweet Dreams)” from the Dixie Chicks always makes me think of the dude.

    I LOVE Blackbird!! When L was born, my husband learned to play that on the guitar and would sing it to him. Very soft and sweet — a perfect lullaby. I am writing up a post for this – singing is big around here too!
