Musically challenged

(In response to the previous post: Yes, you all were right, Carmel. It was just lovely. Thanks to my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jim for hosting us!)

I posted earlier about Jia and Willa's fondness of the Wiggles. Thankfully, I think they are fine too. I did however recently decide to introduce some of our music to the kids. Jia has been choosing the music from our CD collection and we've been listening to whatever she grabs. I am now questioning my strategy as Jia will now only listen to the Beastie Boys. I kid you not. And Willa, if she could ask for it, I'm certain she would request the Beastie Boys even more loudly than Jia! She loves them! At least they're in agreement on something.

They've also started to play a little together lately. And it is the best kind of play. Jia is willing to do all the things that I tire of so easily! For example, Willa will sit in the booster seat and tell Jia whether she wants the tray on or off. Their dialog is so funny:

Willa: Off!
Jia: You want the tray off, Willa? Okay, I'll take it off.
Willa: On!
Jia: Sure, you want the tray on? I can do that, Willa!
Willa: Off!
Jia: Oh, ha ha, you want it off again? Okay!

They are both just gleeful about it and it cracks me up!

Beastie Boys??? Wow! You are bringing back some seriously old (buried) memories. I think you need to post some video of a little Jia & Willa getting jiggy with the Beastie Boys.

Ok... if I'm living in the past, I just had to use the word jiggy. LOL

How great that Jia is willing to entertain Willa for you! I love thier tast in music, BB rock!! Haley and Kyan love Jimmy Buffet and that makes me so proud! Mia still prefers kids music but does like "booty" music when it comes on the radio. She can even "raise the roof".
