How in the world do toddlers freeze in place with lit up eyes and a big smile when they hear Twinkle, Twinkle or Wheels on the Busfor the gazillionth time? Why don’t they throw a fit over that? Why not fall to the floor and wail their loudest over the poor music choice forced on them?
I guess tantrums only apply to: food-that-I-ate-just-fine-yesterday-but-now-I-hate. And, shoes-that-are-too-small-but-I-insist-on-wearing-them. And, clothes-that-are-inappropriate-for-the-weather-but-I-have-worn-them-all-summer-and-will-hold-my-arms-so-stiff-you-will-have-to-cut-off-my-shirt-if-you-want-me-to-change-it.
I’d prefer to listen to some good ol’ fashion rock. Loud. Of course, some of the lyrics aren’t appropriate for little ears…and definitely not at the volume I crank it to. Never fear, I have found a solution! Rockabye Baby! cd’s. They are a must have for any home with children. They transform some of the best rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. Guitars and drums are traded for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells, and the volume is turned down from an eleven to a two. It is the perfect way to share the music you love with the littlest rocker in your life.
Enter here for a chance to win one of these rockin’ cd’s! The lucky winner gets to choose from the following:
But don’t lollygag! The contest ends at midnight on Wednesday, April 29th. The winner will be announced right here, on the blog, first thing in the morning on April 30th.




Sounds like a wonderful change as Jake loves the same ol’ songs over and over and while I have come to enjoy parts of that behavior (hello - where do you think he gets it from?) I have been craving something with a little more flavor - TA DA - enter Green Day as a lullaby. . .right up my alley. The only thing I wonder is whether I can still keep the volume down!!
