I recently went though our stack of CDs (Rob tells me CDs are so old-fashioned, but did they even have iPods seven years ago when I ceased being a grown-up and became a Mom? – don’t answer that, as they probably did) and pulled out several I thought would be fun and as close to innocent as I could find.
We started with Elvis, because if he was wild in the 50s, he should be pretty tame by today’s standards. Holy cow – the girls love him!! Erika’s favorite so far is “Hard-Headed Woman” and Madelyn and Victoria vote for “Hound Dog.” We’re having so much fun singing at the top of our lungs in the car. Please don’t laugh too hard if you see us.
Next on tap may be The Police or Toby Keith or Wham! I think I may be even more excited than the girls are. Scratch that. I know I’m more excited. Seven years is a reeeeally long time to listen to children's music.

How about the Supremes and Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach boys and Jan and dean you are in calif. It is by todays music very tame and classic. Then you could throw in Some Early Dolly Parton and Roy Orbison, or Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Rick Nelson, Welcome to the world of early Adult listening.

Elizabeth used to LOVE the Dixie Chicks, and Tom Petty. We never played the "children's music" for them. From the sound of things, I'm glad we didn't. ;)
Oh my. I recently sang the Wham Rap to the girls - they thought I was nuts. LOL. I have to admit, we rarely listen to kids' music anymore. Lots of K-Love and Jack FM. =) There's nothing sweeter than hearing your children sing praise music, although I still need some good ol' rock sometimes... I suppose listening to the radio is "old school" too, huh?

Wham Rap!?! Oh Jennifer, THIS might be why we're friends. :) Next time we're together, we'll sing it together over our margaritas!
Music is definitely one of my favorite things! Liz and I listen to christian radio all the time and I agree with Jennifer's comment, there is nothing as wonderful as your child singing along with praise music at the top of her lungs! LOL
Liz was also started young on Toby Keith, she used to yell TOBY! when he would come on the radio!! LOL
Love you!
