One of the best things about parenting a precious baby is singing ridiculous songs and lullabies. Watching Michael's little eyes close and hearing the contented baby sighs makes singing goofy songs a wonderful experience. Here are some of lullabies I have composed for my boy:
"Go to Sleep, Go to Sleep, or the Clowns Will Eat You"
"The Itsy Bitsy Spider Laid Eggs in Your Brain"
"Rockabye Baby in the Ford Pinto"
"Sugarplums and Thousands of Tarantulas"
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Imploding, Life-Obliterating Supernova"
My personal favorite is the one about the clowns. Here's hoping that my baby doesn't really understand what I am singing, or we'll probably end up with a resentful, goth teenager.

Don't forget the banjo tunes
Let's introduce him slowly to banjo tunes. I want him to understand that the banjo is not real and it won't really hurt him. =)
Go to sleep, my zoodle,
My fibblety-fitsy foo.
Go to sleep, sweet noodle.
It's time to say ah-choo.
The chickens in the bathtub,
The closet full of sheep,
The sneakers in the freezer
Are all drifting off to sleep.
Go to sleep, my zoodle,
My fibblety-fitsy foo.
Go to sleep, sweet noodle.
The owl is whisp'ring, "Moo""

Beautiful, Chris. Please sing those to Austin when he stays at your house. That way maybe he & MD can get a 2 for 1 on therapy later in life.
