Songs I Sing to My Boys

Each night when I put the boys to bed I sing these songs to each of them:

One I made up:
"You make me happy, and I love you, because you are my baby."
Well Logan informed me months ago that he wasn't a baby so we changed his song to
"You make me happy, and I love you, because you are my boy."
When I sing to Austin he sings along with me; he usually picks up the last word like happy, love you, and baby.
Logan can sing the entire little ditty.  Singing to them is precious time that I will never forget.

The other song I have always sang to the boys is "You Are My Sunshine"
Logan sings the entire song along with me.  When we get to the line "when skies are grey" Logan sings "when skies are great."

I only know these verses

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Austin has begun to sing along also.  Hearing them sing makes my heart happy.
