Hi! I have been studying Japanese for a few years now off and on for work, but that means everything I've learned is fairly formal.

My good friend married a Japanese man last year and they had a baby. They are coming to the states next week for a visit. While we will all speak in English while they are here, I know they primarily speak to their 7-month old in Japanese. Are there any phrases or kids songs that might be cute to learn? Again, he is still a little guy and isnt talking yet. But for my other friends, I always talk to their babies or sing them to sleep.

Side note, I'm the only American friend who speaks any Japanese, so I'm PUMPED to bond with this kiddo over the next few years. I'm ready to be the cool American auntie.

Appreciate your help!
