Today was a great day. It's the Saturday before I start back to work from maternity leave, and I spent the whole day with my little family. The Mr. grabbed up Noni this morning and let me sleep in a little, and when I woke up, I was greeted with sweet snuggles from my girl.
Noni was in such a good mood. We were singing and playing, so I turned on Pandora and searched for Disney. How have I gone all this time without realizing that there is a Disney Pandora station dedicated to playing songs from all the movies we know and love?! We all know that I love me some Disney -- as evidenced by the way I've dressed my child:
And I most certainly loved the Disney Sing Along Song videos that used to come out on VHS. You know, these:
I was so excited about my find! Noni and I danced around as I sang to her (luckily, Noni hasn't yet realized that I can't carry a tune to save my life). The Mr. even joined in on the fun.
This experience made me think about all the little songs and lullabies I've been singing to Naomi. Here are my favorite Disney songs to sing to Noni:
- Baby Mine from Dumbo
- You'll Be in My Heat from Tarzan
- So This is Love from Cinderella
- Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid
- That's What Makes the World Go Round from The Sword in the Stone
- Aloha 'Oe from Lilo and Stitch
- Chim Chim Cheree from Mary Poppins
- Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat from The Aristocats
- The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book
- Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid
- Beauty and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast
- Hakuna Matata - The Lion King
- A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes from Cinderella
- Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah from Song of the South
- Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty
- Little Black Rain Cloud from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- Bella Notte from Lady and the Tramp
- Winnie the Pooh from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- I Wan'na Be Like You from The Jungle Book
- When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio
There's a few other little songs and lullabies that I like to sing to Noni:
- If You're Happy and You Know It (the Target commercial version with Spanish and English)
- You Are My Sunshine
- Somewhere Over the Rainbow
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
I feel like I'm forgetting many fun songs and sweet lullabies from when I was a little girl. Hopefully, as Noni grows, some of them will come back to me. Feel free to make suggestions! Maybe you can jog my memory. I just love snuggling and singing to my girl. Then again, who wouldn't? Just look at this sweet face...
I adore you so, my baby girl.
