"I know, X is hard" may be the single most common thing I say to babies. Because there is nothing like watching an infant struggle with the most basic processes of our existence to make you admire how much every freaking one of us achieves just by being alive.
It is probably a good thing that I have not yet sung to either of my nephews. I would be so terribly tempted to sing things that sound okay but are wildly inappropriate. (I bet "The Scotsman" would make a great bouncy fun song for an infant. and "Hush, Hush" is a lovely lullaby for the first couple of verses, until it starts getting into all the stuff about Scots being murdered.)
