If we both insist, I'll bet we can get him to bring his guitar to play it for your kids the next time we visit. He'll be totally weird about it, but that makes it even more fun!

Photo opp!! I think you need to learn Rocky Racoon and Buffalo Bill. My kids love Beatles songs. Yay for your guitar coming out of storage. Photo opp!!

As soon as she could start talking, Bean would let us know what she preferred - which usually fell into upbeat folksy, indie rock style music (stuff i listen to), she doesn't tolerate "sad", mellow music well which i think is a kid's natural response. She's drawn to the kid faves now (lady gaga, britney, etc) but will also put classical on at dinner or when dancing. I always have music playing (no TV) and i see music as a huge part of Bean's life now. She has an ipod in her room and likes to choose her own songs. i listened to plenty of music while pregnant with Bean because i was working at amazon and that’s just what I did to drown out the noise.

Yes, please share as many artists and recommendations about anything as you are able to! I am an information and recommendation sponge right now. I will definitely check out Lullatone. I guess it's difficult to tell the musical preferences of a baby before he or she is born. Did you listen to music during pregnancy, and find that there was any correlation between what you played and what the babies preferred? Or is it all just confabulation? Thanks, Michelle!

Last night, I had to put Bean to bed with Lullatone albums on shuffle to ease her fear of nightmares after watching A Christmas Carol (ghosts!). i think you'd like it(?). it's really great music that was inspired by their son, they seem like a cool couple: http://www.lullatone.com/ just started reading your blog…it’s fantastic! you’ll be on oprah sooner or later. :) your baby is so lucky to be getting letters from you already! mind if i share a favorite artist?

Her music is pretty much the only children's music we listen to. 18 months later, and we're still not tired of it. I'm sure you'll find that you will write a lot of your own lyrics to your favorite songs though. We make up so many songs for our son and it is a constant source of amusement for us!
