Beautiful child. I heard many opinions about small babies listening to classical music in their early years make them later more sensitive to art and more intelligent. I wonder will I give my child (I have none yet) some samples of classical music? That is a total mystery to me.

OK, your boys are ridiculously cute. Thanks for sharing that little video. I’m sort of like you in that I find the newborn phase of a child’s life a bit tedious. Obviously right now I’m longing for my newborns to come home, but once they’re here I know that after a week or so I’ll be ready for them to DO something other than eat and sleep and soil diapers.

That is SO CUTE!!!!! The look on his face! And the matching outfits!!!!!!!

I expressed my opinion to my gal that there must be a little guy in my ipod who’s taste leans a little differently than mine. And then my gal told me there was – that she saw it on a commercial. So that’s who probably picked out the song.

As far as the second kid goes – yes, it’s hard to find the time for two. I forgot to mention that one my “Two is four times the work and ten times the laundry” equation. And it IS right to make the effort to give him time. But as for future therapy – second children truly get their own distinct benefits. I think of them as sort of more stability/consistency in parenting since you’ve done this before, less hysteria when things go wrong, more socialization from older brother, less pressure, etc. etc. etc. But then I’m a first kid…

Yeah, I bet Copa Cabana came up “randomly.” Uh-huh.

Looks like you’ve got yourself a couple of Fanilows!

Don’t worry. I am having the opposite problem. Mancub at 12 is harder to engage with than little girl. Fortunately we have 2 parents and different phases apeal more to one or the other.

But, still try. Not Max is pretty darn cute.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Can’t…..stop…..lauging!!!!! All these years I’ve thought you had pretty good taste in music. But now I come to find out that you’ve been a closet Fanilow!

He sure is cute though! I love how honest you are about this. I love love love little kids, but before they can talk, I have a hard time holding interest.

Be careful. Apparently, my first sentence was “I like that song,” and it was in reference to Copa. I think it set the tone for my awful taste in music.

Oh yes, it’s inevitable that each child who comes along has to work harder to get the parents’ attention. I have four children and my youngest is so loud. He’s had to be.

My eldest son loved the baby bouncer. If he ever got crotchety that would cheer him up instantly. I wish they made one for adults. Although I guess we’d need bigger stronger doors!

The fact that Copacabana is on your iPod shuffled in with all your other indie music is exactly why I have always held you in such high esteem. Musical eccentricity is a sign of genius, you know.
