Lullabies and baby vocabulary




 What calms you down when you are angry or stressed?  How do you calm down babies?


Language Guide: baby vocabulary

Language Guide: toys and playground equipment

Learning Chocolate: baby equipment (although a CRADLE rocks. A crib is a baby bed that doesn't move.)

Lullabies:

Brahms is really common here for baby toys, but I suspect that most of us don't know the words.


I often sang this next one -- just the first verse.  I learned it as "see" rather than "have."


I don't know anyone personally who sang the next one, 
but I think most people here know at least some of it.  



My mother sang this next song as a lullaby for me.  Instead of a ring with no end, it was a story with no end because it was the "story of our love."  The movie "Animal House" showed me that many people
don't like it the way that I did.


I think every child in the USA learns this next lullaby.  I have NO idea how it became popular.



The next lullaby is Christian-flavored, although my friend who always sang it isn't christian.


Do you sing lullabies?  What do you like to sing?
