Kids

It's kind of weird the unexpected things that kids wind up attaching to. I have played dozens of songs and lullabies to Aurora, and she seems to enjoy my off-key warbling (much to my surprise), but it's always taken at least three or four songs before she really responds to it. She doesn't actually fuss a whole lot, but she has her moments, particularly in the car. She doesn't really like to be put in her carseat, and she's generally still fussing and crying a bit by the time we get in the car. I happened to put a Dancehall Crashers cd in the player in the car a few weeks ago, and noticed that she really liked one song in particular. Scott thought it might have been the acoustic guitar, but she doesn't respond and calm down until the lyrics start, so I don't know if it's the girl's singing, my singing along with it, or the guitar playing, but this song will calm her down every time it's played. So I'm expecting I'll be listening to it a lot over the next few months, unless she decides to change it up a bit. At least it's a song I liked to begin with :)
