LOL AWWW not even:

John, John, my son John
Went to school with nothing on

when he wouldn't get up in the morning? I threatened to make him get on the school bus naked.

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bow breaks, the cradle will fall
And down (at this point, I'd suddenly lower whatever child I was playing with, to the ground)
will come baby, cradle and all

Ride a little horsey down to town
Ride a little horsey don't fall DOWN

I'd put a child on both my knees, especially the boys, and "trott" them. When I cam to "DOWN", I'd spread my legs and let their bottom almost touch the floor. They thought that was hilarious!!! Now the grandsons want me to do it to them... even the 13 yr old!

With him, at the age of one, I taught him the hand motions to:

Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came and son and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

He would try SO HARD to put his forefinger and the thumb of the opposite hand together and make the spider crawl. He would stare at my hands for the longest time! He finally got it when he was two.
