We sing heaps to Abby! She loves it! Songs we sing are:
4 and 20 black birds, rub a dub dub, 5 little ducks, hey diddle diddle, twinkle twinkle, ABCD, 12345 once i caught a fish alive etc.
and a strange little song that my mum and nan useto sing to me... they tell me its a real song but if it is, someone has changed the words over the years as they are very odd. Mum laughs when i ask her about it and tells me its a real song?!
it goes:
(boy voice)
If i give you, a little straw hat
With 7 pounds of sasagues hanging down the back
Will you marry, marry, marry, marry
Will you marry me?
(girl voice)
If you give me,a little straw hat
With 7 pounds of sasagues hanging down the back
I wont marry, marry, marry, marry,
I wont marry you!
(boy voice)
If i give you, a watering can
To water your flowers till the sun goes down
Will you marry, marry marry marry
Will you marry me?
(girl voice)
If you give me a watering can
To water my flowers till the sun goes down
I wont marry, marry marry marry
I wont marry you!
(boy voice)
If I give you, a little motor car,
To ride around the streets with your ma and pa,
Will you marry, marry, marry, marry
Will you marry me?
(girl voice)
If you give me a little motor car,
To ride around the streets with my ma and pa,
I wont marry, marry, marry, marry
I wont marry you!
(boy voice)
If I give you, the key to my chest
And all the money that i posess
Will you marry, marry, marry, marry
Will you marry me?
(girl voice)
If you give me, the key to your chest
And all the money that you posess
I Will you marry, marry, marry, marry
I will marry you!
(this next bit is in a cross talking tone! pmsl)
(boy voice)
Ha, Ha, Ha! Arent you funny!
You dont want me, you just want my money!
I wont marry, marry, marry
I wont marry you!
I told you it was an odd little song! If anyone knowa anything about it, where it came from or the propper words id love to hear about it!!

I sing if you are happy and you know it ...clap your hands/nod your head etc
you know it ;)
Head,shoulders,knees and toes ...
Twinkle ,twinkle little star ...
we have a book with this song
Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”
Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.
I love the Barney song and thanks for the other new ones.
So cute .... pity I can't carry a tune but they still love me.

I always sing Tori the Grand Old Duke of York when she is upset and she smiles and giggles.

Close your eyes and Ill Kiss you, tomorrow Ill miss you- Im sending all my loving to you.....

I always sang "you are my sunshine' to my youngest. He has just turned three and when he wasnt well last month i cuddled him and sang it to him for the first time in ages and he dropped off to sleep in my arms after about 60 seconds. It was a wonderful loving flashback to when he was a tiny baby!
