I am in love with music. I have music on all the time…as often as I can anyway. For a long time I have been the boss when it comes to music in our family (sorry Bruce, I’m not trying to steal your moniker.) But times they are a changin’.

Addison has decided that SHE is in charge of our listening pleasure.  If a song comes on that she doesn’t approve she RELENTLESSLY tells us to change the song and more often than not has a replacement song in mind.

At first I thought she was just developing into a little Bossy Pants, but as it turns out, she just has more personality than can fit in her tiny two year old body.  And I intend to let her express herself at every opportunity.  The way I see it, the more comfortable and supported she feels as she is developing her personality, the easier it will be for her to maintain that confidence throughout her life.

Here’s my little DJ’s playlist:

1. Burn Burn Fire song (Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash)

2. Party Song (Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus)

3. Nigh’ Night Song (I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas)

4. Tinkle (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by Lisa Loeb)

5. Boom Song (I’m gonna be honest, I CANNOT figure out what this one is, but I just put it on another favorite and she is happy.)

6. Babba Ann (Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys

7. Jung Woom (Jungle Room by The Imagination Movers)

8. Girl Song (6 Underground by the SneakerPimps)

9. Wound Bus (Wheels on the Bus by a bunch of irritating kids)

10. Tummy Song (Big Poppa by Notorious BIG … don’t worry, this one has been cut from the rotation since I realized how much she absorbs from music)

I could go on, but that should give you a glimpse into the musical musings of Addison Claire.  I can’t wait till she figures out that I paint for a living…I’m sure that expression of personality will get messy.  But I’ll support every last drop of paint that she splatters!
