Here are the current playlists

Thanks for relating to my winter blahs.  Sometimes I feel like I should have figured out how to do all of this really, really well by now because the boy's been around in one way or another for about three years. 

What's that I hear?  Laughter from every parent on the earth?  Someone saying, while clutching belly and holding onto furniture for support?: "She thinks she should have parenting all figured out because she's done it for two+ years?!  Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa..."

Those are awesome songs! I am bookmarking this for future reference! I'll go back to lurking now! ;)

I keep meaning to post these CD/book suggestions for you, all by Sandra Boynton:

Philadelphia Chickens
Rhinoceros Tap -- These first two are sort of Broadway, Revue type music, very fun!

Dog Train, which is "Rock 'n' Roll" type music and

Blue Moo, which is 50's style Diner Music.

All but one of the first ones is done with tons of really famous musicians like Meryl Streep (yes, I know she's more famous for her acting -- I'm doing this from memory) to the Blues Traveler guy to Sha Na Na.

Sometimes I think I like them better than Cassie does, and we've worn out several CD's!

Remind me and we'll bring one or more over the next time we see you!

What wonderful playlists - and seeing Natalie Merchant in there has reminded me of how much I used to love listening to her, so must try and dig that out again.
