Alright, I’m done with the dancing fruit. And I’m going crazy from singing her the wiggles and Miss Rachel tunes. I started adding adult tunes to our music time because I just needed a little break. “My Wish” by Rascall Flats is my favorite song. Which adult songs are your favorites to sing to your child?
Good, non-annoying baby music from Raffi! Additionally, there are several adorable and enjoyable songs on the Jack Johnson Curious George album listening to them makes me cry every time. For myself, I just play entire albums that I am familiar with. Thus, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Leon Bridges, and dazzling eyes are my favorites. I know that soon I will not be able to choose what we listen to, so I try not to play too much baby music right now aside from the few songs I know she likes.
I totally get where you’re coming from—I was in the same boat with my little one! When I needed a break from kids’ tunes, I started mixing in some adult favorites. I love singing songs like “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles and “You’ve Got a Friend” by James Taylor. They have a soothing vibe and are enjoyable for both kids and adults. Plus, they’re great for winding down after a lively music session. It’s a nice way to share your own taste in music while still keeping things fun for your child!
Don’t Pass Me By was the bathtub song in my house. I’ve started singing it to my child, albeit not at bath time. Of course, I sang it wrong because my Dad did. And forget the lyrics in the same spot!
