ABC's & 123's...

Little did I know when I bought the tribe a "traveling" CD that we would ALL be singing the songs. This all began when I was invited to one of those Discovery Toys parties. You know the company that sells all of those developmental toys for children. You host a party at your house & then invite all of your friends. Well one of the mom's in my mom's club had a party & invited me. Like I need more toys in my house! LOL! They do have some COOL toys but I just have to watch my pennies if you know what I mean! LOL! I decided to buy them some play phones & a Sounds like FUN CD to play in the 'burb for when we travel back & forth to Grandma's house. Anything to make an hour car ride more pleasantWhen the CD finally did arrive I popped it into the player in our 'burb & I was not that excited by it. It sounded VERY boring! The woman doing all of the singing seemed to sing in the same tune. Dustyn was with us & he too was not impressed. We really thought the CD could have been better. Apparently we know very little about toddler music because the tribe has made us eat those words! They LOVE this CD! It has become a staple in our car rides, especially our road trips! They know EVERY song by heart & sing them all! Heck we ALL sing them! Last month when we were in GA my teenage nieces even started singing the alphabet song. Apple, Apple, Ah Ah Ah... Baby, Baby, Ba Ba Ba... See it is catchy! The words they use in their ABC song are cute too! E is elbow, G is garden, etc... There's even a song that discusses numbers. But not just 1, 2 or 3. It goes up to 100. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty & fifty... I find them counting up to numbers I did not even realize they knew. When we were at my brother's house in GA they counted the stairs up to twelve. They are not even 2 1/2 yet! It's AMAZING! This CD has really jumped started their little minds & opened up their vocabulary. They LOVE using their words especially when they are put to music. And to think all of this came about due to a silly CD of...

I remember the days when we used to listen to kiddie songs too - my kids are all older now - 18, 16 and 11. They do grow up toooo fast so enjoy them while you can. Time goes by so quickly.
