Music and Lyrics

Posted by Caryn Bailey 1 Comment

I’ve written about our sleep struggles and how sleep deprivation makes you delirious enough to forget even the most basic things…like where you placed your keys.  It was with sadness that we moved our son to his box crib a few weeks ago.  Despite the fact that my son is now sleeping in his own space, he still fights the process of going to sleep.  

Who knew that after spending many nights walking and rocking our son to sleep that we would all find respite in humming Frère Jacques?  Don’t ask me how or why my husband chose a French nursery rhyme to lull my son to sleep but it’s working.  After dinner we play and read a story. I sit down with him in the glider and give him his bottle milk.  I brush his teeth and then daddy takes over and hums Frère Jacques while patting his back in the crib.  We’ve tried other songs but we always come back to Jacques.  As soon as my husband starts humming my son lays his head down.  It’s adorably cute!  We’re all sleeping much better now thanks to the French!  

Did you know that children who are regularly exposed to music do better in subjects like reading and math, focus better, and have higher self-esteem (KidsHealth.org)?  My husband and I have a deep appreciation for all kinds of music and we are hoping to instill that within our son.  

This week’s blog blast is all about the songs you sing to encourage and teach your children.  You have probably all heard the song “beans, beans the musical fruit…”  You’re a smart bunch too since you know that beans are a veggie.  Bush’s Beans is holding a contest where you rewrite the lyrics in their Magical Veggie Challenge.  You could win $5,000!  

And while you’re at it, head on over to The Parent Bloggers Network for your chance at one of two gift cards to Best Buy!
