That Baby CD/DVD

I never thought I would enjoy That Baby CD/DVD as much as my 4 year old does. I thought the songs are the same typical jumpy redundant children’s songs but its’ not. The CD is full of soothing, mellow folky-country songs made popular Joni Mitchell, The Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac, among others. The songs are redone in acoustic style that is an instant hit in our home, including my mom!

Mine and Pristine’s favorite is “Happiness Runs/Circle Game” not because it is the first song in the CD/DVD but because of the relaxing tune and tastefully done video. Pristine even requests me to sing the song to her during bedtime. The music video of the song in the DVD is something you’ll love - the lovely images of trees with red hearts, autumn leaves and adorable kids made the song extra special. The DVD has the same songs in the CD that come to life with cute babies and kids, puppets and animation.

Pristine loves fast and danceable tunes so I didn’t think she’ll ask me to play the DVD again after the first run but she actually did! This CD/DVD is a great addition to our music/video library.

As for me, I am happy to find another way to make long rides with the kiddo more enjoyable. I love the songs so much that I even play the CD even without the toddler on board - on my way to work! I’m amazed at how the songs soothe my senses and almost make me forget about the traffic jam outside.
