"Hello to Leighton. So glad to see you." We can't stop singing it. We add Luella, Mommy and Daddy to the mix and it's more than our baby can handle - she grins and drools and it's so much fun.
Family Favorites™ has 19 fun and wholesome songs drawn from the Music Together® library of nine albums. One song entitled "Goin' for Coffee" seems to be designed with the idea in mind that acquisition of your fave Starbucks concoction can be accomplished within the duration of the song, no matter where you live. In other words, the little ditty is short and sweet ... or "tall with sugar".
I picked up the CD for $17 at Giggle in Lincoln Park, but I don't see it on the website. You can pick it up from the Music Together website for a song (pun absolutely intended) at $14.95.
Family Favorites™ may sound a bit goofy to you at first. I chose "goofy" (laboring over the use of that word as I was going for "light" rather than "pejorative") because no self-respecting thirty-three-year-old who fancies herself hip and forward-thinking can handle the fact that she gets excited about a wipe warmer, Jumperoo and an album that isn't Adele or Coldplay or some Top 40 fluff that she can't admit she likes (not in her blog anyway).
I love to sing. I love music - Ryan and I both do. We believe that music is an entertaining and practical way for children to express themselves. And so, we shelve the "too-cool-for-school" attitude and happily sing along. "Zoom. Zoom. Ridin' In the Car ..."
This product review conforms to the Fuss Formula.
If you think the CD is fun, you should try a Music Together class with your baby. My husband and I took my son from about 2 1/2 to 5 years old and my daughter from the time she was in my womb until she was about 3. We all enjoyed the classes so much and I don't think it's a coincidence that my daughter sings to herself and us all day!
