I love this song, too and could never remember all of the words. A few years ago on All MY Children Erica Kane was singing it and I happened to tape it that day, so I wrote all of the words down. :D

I like that song too, I have a story that I loved reading to the kids were Kermit the frog sings the frog version of the song to his nephew robin, it is sooooooo cute.

That must be the baby's name. :) I haven't really watched the show in years, but just remember being so excited to learn the words to the song thanks to good ol' Erica! LOL!

My son is 6 and I still sing it to him at times. There are some nights, like when he is anxious about something new that is going to happen, when he just can't or won't go to sleep. I will sing that to him and it will relax him enough so that we can start talking about what is bothering him or he will drift off to sleep. I tell him he will always be my baby boy!
