Join the Discussion About baby cradle swings:
| Out of the mouths of babes. | | I was sitting here thinking about when my youngest which is now 10, was about 4 years old. He was has always been a real cut up, and over the years we've come to expect pretty much anything to come out of his mouth. He's not rude or anything but, if he thinks it, it going to get said. I had recently had a hysterectomy, and we explained what mommy was going to the hospital for, by tell him that I was having my baby cradle taken out. Well my husband makes a little remark like, "but we're keeping the playpen."
Well this particular time, we were all sitting around the dinner table. All of my in laws, my mother, and father was over for some get together. I can't remember what the occasion was. But we all sitting there having a nice conversation, and it lead to cradles. If I recall correctly, we were talking about giving our old one to a relative. When out of no where, my son looks up from his plate and says, "mommy doesn't have a cradle". My farther in law says, "yes she does son, I saw it in the back room." To which my son replies, "no she doesn't. The doctor took it out. But daddy says he left her playpen." Now while he was saying this I wanted to... | |
| | "When the wind blows the cradle will rock & down will come baby, cradle and all. | | A lullaby straight out of a children's nursery rhymes book."Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top,
when the wind blows the cradle will rock,
when the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
down will come baby, cradle and all." WHAT?? That sounds rather violent, doesn't it? Poor baby!!and such a lovely melody and not only for singing baby to sleep but for a little music box when you open it, or a little ballerina that will turn on its base if your wind it up.And what about poor little Miss Muffet!! You know THAT one.. a spiderto scare her!! POOR CHILD!!Why have we been exposing our little kids to this for years and years.. is there a rhyme or reason to this? (pun intended, LOL) | |
| | Rock a by baby. | | Everyone should know this lullaby. I remember it when I was younger, my mom says she remembers it when she was young, and I sing it to my kids. Its been around for centuries. In case you don't know it here it is:"Rock a by baby,
In a tree top,
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks,
Down comes baby,
Cradle and all."Now who came up with the lyrics??? Don't you think this lullaby is kind of bad?? lol but it seems to calm the baby when I sing it. what other lullabys do you sing if you sing any??I also like to sing Hush little baby. | |
| | Do You Belive In... | | We read science, the truth, the reality. But yet, there are many of us who believe in suprstitions in contrast to reality. For eg., a black cat brings ill omen, one should not cough before going somewhere, keeping moneyplant in home brings money, one should not swing an empty baby cradle, otherwise the baby may die.......
This list is endless. So, do you believe in Superstitions, Have you ever heard any specific superstition which you would like to share? Please share in your experiences and views. | |
| | Did you know that nursery rhymes are more violent than TV shows by up to 10X! | | I have learned that traditional nursery rhymes have far more violent scenes than TV shows! A research team in England discovered that an hour of listening to nursery rhymes exposes a child to 10 times more violent scenes than an hour of watching pre-9p.m. programs on British TV. The researchers analyzed violence in more than 25 popular rhymes and in five UK TV channels for two weeks. The findings? There were almost five violent scenes per hour of TV viewing compared to 52 per hour of listening to nursery rhymes. Although the study approach was tongue-in-cheek, the researchers said it still shows that it is too simplistic to blame television alone for children's violent behavior. Examples of vicious rhymes are: humpty dumpty - nasty head injuries from fall, jack and jill - double hillside fall tragedy, simple simon - tongue and finger injuries and thrown to the ground by a cow, six in a bed - repeated bedtime tumbles, and rock-a-bye baby - cradle crashes to the ground from a great height. | |
