We asked on Facebook what Mums and Dads in other countries might sing to help their children go to sleep. Here's what I sang to Toby when he was little (and occasionally, today). Several people shared links, and we listened to them all! | |
| Tatjana, in Serbia, is singing this. We thought it sounded really swingy, and we were swaying on the sofa. :) |
Shelley in Canada told us about this sweet little song - Toby really, really, really, really liked it, and apparently, Mummy *has to* learn it! | |
| Yun Xiao said that this is what she sang to her two boys when they were little - it sounds so sweet and gentle, and lovely and calm! |
Barbie is singing "My Girl" to her daughter. We loved both the song and the video, and Toby quite fancies having choreographed dancers in his room at bedtime! | |
| Leah shared "You are my Sunshine" - Toby has heard me sing this one occasionally, but thanks to Leah - and Johnny Cash - we were sitting on the sofa, both of us singing along, with Toby clicking his fingers. |
And finally, Lisa told us about this sweet song - we hadn't heard it before, but we both loved imagining Superman in his pyjamas - whether a little boy Superman, or the "real" one. Thank you so much for sharing - if you read this and you can tell us more, please comment and share links to more lullabies around the world!! | |
