I am looking for some more songs to sing/hum to my 3 1/2 month old. I am having a mental block( must be baby brain still, ha ha)and have been thrashing "Wheels on the bus", "Old McDonald", and loads of nursery rhymes.
Any songs would be great! or if there are any websites? Cheers! Alisha  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

When I was nannying in the UK my youngest little one LOVED "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly...." you kinda do the actions of whatever insect or animal you're singing about - run your fingertips all round their tummy for the spider and the fly, tickle them for the cat and horse etc, maybe make the noises..... Twinkle Twinkle, Baa Baa Darkly Pigmented Sheep  , You are my sunshine..... there's loads of them!! ------------- Joshua Hadynn - Born 3 May 2006 |

1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive. Try going to your local library and see if they have some cassette tapes or CDs that have childrens songs on them. I have just been to the library and got some for Xanda and then I taped them onto my own tapes so that we can listen to them in the car. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

we have those love to sing dvds and cds and kobe loves them. That lion hunt drives me crazy though. He is just started doing actions and looks so cute. Wiggles (or diddles as he calls them) are a big fav at the moment hot potato and that joannie works with one hammer etc... ------------- KOBE born 19 March 2004 http://www.TickerFactory.com/">
