Subject: RE: Mudcat for Kids
Maybe, for people like me who sing to kids a lot, some child-developmentally grouped things, like baby bounces -- my professional DGs do this all the time.

*baby bounce: 1)a lap rhyme for bouncing babies. 2) Any song you know to which a baby can be bounced (I once heard Margaret Christl say she bounced to Cuckoo's Nest -- the kid is probably grown by now.) 3) Anything you raid from Mother Goose which is good for bouncing babies eg: Leg over leg as the dog went to Dover; he came to a stile(fence) and whoops! he jumped over 4) any song for older kids which you can addapt to baby bouncing: I put my hand on myself, what is this here, this is the eye-winker(chin chopper, nose blower) oh Mama dear ...

Can you tell I have a baby lapsit time that I just adore?
