The soundtrack of my life has changed so much since becoming a mama. I have always been a big fan of music and in my single days I used to always have music on just for the sake of it. I loved to just sing out loud to whatever was playing. Good times. Lately, I noticed that my music choices are very different. They consist of songs about a lady eating a horse, a baby bumble bee and a kid finding a peanut. It’s official, my son has taken over. I bought him so many CD’s of nursery rhymes and silly songs that they’ve buried themselves deeply into my brain. It’s nothing for me to break out into “there’s a party in my tummy” from Yo Gabba Gabba. Turns out, I’m not alone in this. I was trying to encourage my little man to eat his lunch while we were out. I started singing the “party in my tummy song” and two other mommies joined me for the chorus. Apparently their wee ones are fans as well. If I wasn’t convinced that things are a changin’ around these parts, the inevitable happened. I was about to get in the shower to start my day. I usually like a little music to get me going in the morning. So, I hit the radio only to hear “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandee!” What’s a mama to do? I wave the white flag… you win baby, you win!

Snack Time by the Bare Naked Ladies is a cool kid CD that also is fun for parents. Well, kind of. It’s better than “wheels on the bus”.
thanks for the suggestion!
That is so funny. We like radio theater too. Sometimes it’s a welcome break from the tunes. This one is our fav….

i love that song about the kid finding the peanut! Too bad he also found out he had peanut allergies. 🙁
I’m laughing out loud. I find myself singing songs from Yo Gabba Gabba too. I actually wanted to be DJ Lance Rock for Halloween…maybe next year? 🙂
