One Mother's Day morning when my oldest son was just five (35 yrs ago) he woke me up singing this song.
Good morning merry sunshine How did you wake so soon? You .... the stars And shined away the moon. He'll say it to me know, but he won't sing it anymore.  That was the sweetest "wake up" I've had in my whole life!  The dots represent a word I can't remember. If you know it, would you please remind me?  EDIT: I found it!!! Good morning, merry sunshine, How did you wake so soon? You've scared the little stars away, And shone away the moon. I watched you go to sleep last night, Before I stopped my play, How did you get way over there, And, pray, where did you stay? I never go to sleep, dear, I just go 'round to see My little children of the East, Who rise to watch for me. I waken all the birds and bees, And flowers on my way, Then last of all, the little child Who stayed out late to play.

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.

Awww... those are my favorite times of my life, when my son was little, learning, curious!
My 'baby' will be 29 in a week! One of our favorites was "You Are My Sunshine" You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me Haaaapy When skies are gray You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. here's one I have modified as I got older: Thirty Days hath September poem Thirty days hath September, April, June and November; February has twenty eight alone All the rest have thirty-one Except in Leap Year, that's the time When February's Days are twenty-nine my modified version is: Thirty days hath September All the rest? I can't remember! |

My "baby" will be 29 next February.
A friend of ours once repeated the months of the year poem to my kids like this... Thirty days hath Septober April, June and Nowonder All the rest have peanut butter And grandma rides a trike... (He pointed to my daughter who is incredibly builible and asked) Do you swim?  You should have heard them all go "HUH???"

My husband will wake sometimes and start singing about frogs on bumps on logs :-) from "Hole in the Bottom of the Sea". It is a bit startling first thing in the morning to hear a grown man reciting nursery rhymes in this low, sing-songy voice:

wither shall you wander up stairs, down stairs in my lady's chamber once I met an old man who would not say his prayers so I took him by his left leg and threw him down the stairs I have no idea why I like the idea of throwing that old man down the stairs...but it makes me chuckle each time I say it!

I can relate! LOL I had an uncle that had one leg and I would love to take him by that leg and throw him down the stairs!
Only thing is... his prayers never had an ending!!!!  It got to the point that one of his daughters would whisper to him, "Enough, Daddy!!!" hehehe He'd shut up, then.

I still sing You Are My Sunshine to my grandkids... especially the younger ones that still fit on my non-existent lap!
There was one that didn't like my singing voice, I guess, 'cause he would cover my mouth.

Speaking of sweet memories... if you don't mind, I'm going to post in Spanish and then translate. My mom used to tell me stories about family members... loving stories.
 A la ru ru ruru, A la ru ru ya - just a calming sound Duremase mi nina - go to sleep my little girl Y duremase ya... - it's now time to go to sleep Esta chiquitita - this little one fue a ver a su tia - went to see her auntie... And from there she'd make something up or retell something that had happened between one of my aunts or the other... or a cousin, or my dad, or whoever came into her mind. LOL Rather than putting me to sleep, most of the time she'd make me giggle.
