in our house, she's known as Miss Laurie. her music was the first that Bear ever sang along with. that's just one of the reasons why i love her so. our favorite CD of hers is

our most memorable Movers moment...we were dancing in Bear's room to Bounce from In a Big Warehouse


i'm not sure how these cute vegetables came into our lives, but it was a great moment in my history as a mom. their cds
practically live in our car's cd player. the best thing for me is that not only do they do silly songs, they also have lots of faith-based songs that teach children stories from the Bible.
i will admit to having some hesitation about these guys before i actually listened to them. but something about their Aussie accents and catchy beats reeled me in.
not to mention the fun song names like Nicky Nacky Nocky Noo and Di Dicki Do Dum from the Dance Party
disc.
there are so many warm memories of Raffi's music for me. his songs are both warm and fun. many of them have a much deeper meaning. One Light One Sun
is probably my most favorite song of his as it says, "One world, one home... one world home for everyone. One dream, one song...one song heard by everyone."
the cd In Tents
is a fairly new find for me. and i don't even recall how i stumbled upon them. i adore the song "Covered in Bandaids" and love how the topics of children's imaginations is covered in "Invisible Friend." it has a lot of resonance with me as Jetta {Bear's imaginary friend} still holds a place at our dinner table.
i can't tell you how excited Bear and i were when we found out there was going to be a Pajanimals show close to us. the idea of singing The Pajanimals songs
in a theatre with Bear warmed my heart. but then it got cancelled = total bummer. but it seemed i was more disappointed than Bear was.
this is another one of those shows that i really didn't "get" at first even though Bear loved it. the music from their show
usually has a theme of working together and overcoming obstacles, that's great for little ones to hear. they're another band that i would love to see in concert. but we missed them when they came to our city.
Wayne is funny, charismatic, and for this post, really relatable for kids. his cd, Radio Wayne
, has songs that touch on life points that kids can connect with. plus it's a bonus that i appreciate him as a star that does comedy geared towards adults, so it's a win-win situation.

it's no secret that Bob Marley is a cornerstone in music. the musical talent that's passed down to his son Ziggy is clear in Family Time

their Kids in Motion

You need to add all of Jim Gill's music to your collection. Within the last year I have come to enjoy and use Lolly Hopwood's CD called "Go! Go! Go!".
