Do you sing to your babies?

[lilysmom]

I just made up this song: (To the tune of Miss Lucy had a steamboat)

I have a little kitty
Her name is Lily Grace
She has a cute tail
And the cutest little face!

I also substitute "kitty" for words of songs that are in my head at the time.

You remember that children's song, "Where is Thumpkin," where you hide and show your thumbs? Well, I hadn't played this game with Red Cat, with him hiding under a sheet thrown over some boxes and me poking at him with a toy in a long time until last night. But the game always goes with me singing to the tune of "Where is Thumpkin":

Where is Red Cat? Where is Red Cat?
There he is! There he is!
Such a pretty kitty
Best cat in the city
There he is! There he is!

And of course, with every "there he is," I gently poke him with the toy and he tries to grab it through the sheet. What fun we have playing with our babies - even when the baby is eight years old and 14 pounds.
