I’m sharing this Spotify playlist of folksy and sweet kid songs that Mom and Dad won’t mind humming along to.

My son doesn’t seem to mind those kiddy sing-along songs that have 50 kids singing all at the same time, but I do. One is OK, but after that it’s sort of like fingernails on a chalkboard. So when our sons were babies, Ashby and I looked all over for fun kid music that we actually could enjoy too. We shared our favorite finds with each other and finally created a pretty good kid music library together. Have a listen to our Top 20!
