So I'm taking a "light hearted" approach to Then Sings My Soul Saturdays. I've been sharing each kid's "song". Yes, my children get their own songs and I know from some of the comments I am NOT the only person who does that! I do not make up their songs. Well, in moments of desperation I might make up a song about "please go to sleep right now before mommy has a breakdown" but for the most part I relied on other people's songs and just changed up the words a bit for us. You can read about Sean's song (a popular choice among mothers apparently!) here and Cary's song here.
And now, Kayleigh's song:
Of course, in the interest in making it KAYLEIGH's song, we had to change up the lyrics a bit. I used to sing:
In the household, the Bonnett household, Kayleigh sleep tonight,
In the household, our quiet household, Kayleigh sleep tonight,
Weeeeeee eeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeee, weeee do bum do way..
(etc).
I couldn't embed the version of the song I really wanted to use. If you have time, check out this youtube video.
Head on over to Amy's to see what songs others are sharing this week. And come back next week for a "lullaby" I sang to all my kids.

I love hearing about your kids songs... and I'm so glad we're not the only ones that do that :) My kids also have "normal songs" that are "their songs" too... but I love their special songs.
I love Kayleigh's song... it seems so appropriate for her. Thanks again, my dear friend, for sharing with us.
That's a cute song for her.
