Grandchildren's Birth Songs

When our first grandchild was born, Our daughter, Lyn, the baby's aunt, sang her a song made up on the spot, as Lyn often composed little songs. She did the same thing with her nephew, who was born 16 months later.  When Lyn had her own child a few years later, I didn't want her children to miss having their own song as their cousins did, so I continued the tradition. The later songs were more thought out and were longer and more detailed; so, through the years, we added on to the first two to make them more comparable in length and complexity. All the children loved to have their songs sung.
