To the tune "Are You Sleeping Brother John"

Changing diaper, changing diaper

Lots of fun, lots of fun

You're no longer stinky!

You're no longer stinky!

Nice clean bum, nice clean bum

The changing table is a perfect place to sing-it can be distracting and when we sing we slow down allowing babies to hear the individual sounds in words which will help them get ready to read!

This one works best if baby is on their back or sitting on your lap facing away from you

One, two (bicycle legs)

Buckle my shoe (tap bottoms of feet)

Three, four (bicycle legs)

Shut the door (open and close legs)

Five, six (bicycle legs)

Pick up sticks (bring one leg up at a time as if kicking)

Seven, eight (bicycle legs)

Lay them straight (lay legs out in front)

Nine, ten (bicycle legs)

Begin again! (tickle)

These movements can help bring attention to the movement of your baby's lower body!

On the day you were born I felt my heart get a little bit bigger

On the day you were born I felt it swell, swell, swell

On the day you were born I felt my heart give a little giggle

And I knew it would be a better world

Your baby loves to hear you sing and singing soothing songs can help calm and relax your baby.
