Bond Mommy Bond: Music

After 4 months of being a mom I just discovered the power of music. Other moms tried to clue me in. I received a CD at my baby shower and a friend of mine brought over a large bag of hand me downs but I completely thought the CDs we for later ...not NOW. My husband has been asking me about music for Ethan... but still, somehow in the chaos new motherhood I didn't get out those CDs until this week.

This last Thursday, I was home alone with Ethan while my husband was working. Since his new favorite past time is now rolling, I rearranged the furniture so he would have plenty of rug room. I then searched his room for his baby CDs and selected Beatles for Baby which boosted special instrumentals for baby. When I turned it on magic filled our house and Ethan was mesmerized. I couldn't believe it!

You always here people talk about how babies love the car and I've heard many stories of parents driving around to sooth their fussy baby. My baby hates the car. I only go to places within 10 minutes of my house. I only take Ethan in the car once a day because that's all of the screaming and crying I can handle. Lately, not only does he cry he also arches his back and refuses to physically cooperate going into the car seat. Yesterday I had a breakthrough, after shoving him into car seat I put on the baby Beatles CD and not only did he not cry he actually fell asleep! Thank you John! Thank you Paul!
