Thread Name: Hello...and so much for lullabies
Subject: RE: Hello...and so much for lullabies
Once my four could talk, they each requested their own lullabye. The boys in particular had very eclectic taste.Desert Silvery Blue is a great little boy lullabye that one of mine latched onto it's in the forum.

But my favorite story is my oldest son's all time favorite "Runboy". Even after writing modified verses ( couldn't sing night after night about parents abandoning children and we switched the crime from murder to bank robbery -- well with Daddy being a banker they all figured that was a horrendous crime).

Anyway, we spent a week camping with college friends who had moved to Paris and were raising their two children "PROPERLY". I took a deep breath and began lullabye time... Not much privacy in a trailer and AJ wanted "his" song. The good mom showed well bred concern that we were singing this song night after night.... but a year later it was her sons first request.... He had waited a year to hear the song again ! Just keep singing...
