Rockin' Preston

Well first off-Preston actually slept without a hitch last night-maybe it's my parents' house. Emily's suggestion of his adenoids is another possibility-they are big, but his ENT is hesitant to do this surgery until around three, but I may bring it up at our next appointment in September (or earlier if the sleeping issues don't stop).

I have a rule about music in the car-Preston gets his music for a bit (consisting of any of the Fisher Price Little People CDs for kids-big hit BTW, Playhouse Disney or the Little Einsteins Musical Missions)and then it is Mommy's turn. Usually I put his on faded into the back when I am on a phone call in the car, but if we are just driving in silence-there will eventually come a point where I am ready to insert a nail gun into my temporal lobe. Then it is time for Mommy's music. He is becoming more and more accustomed to my music anyway, so we are almost at a 50/50 split of air time.

Preston has a select few songs that he actually likes and knows as soon as the music starts. Some of his faves include-"Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall, "Escape" with Gwen Stefani and Akon (appropriate huh?), "Low" by Flo Rida (yes my son listens to Flo Rida and undestands apple bottom jeans), "With You" by Chris Brown (likes the repetitive chorus), "Hello" by the Beatles, "Damaged" by Danity Kane (which is precious to listen to him sing "fix it, fix it, fix it" and most recently he has added "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls to his repetoire. He also is into hair bands-as I sang Bad English's "When I See you Smile" and I inserted "when I see Preston smile" which made him...well, smile. As you can see his music tastes are wide ranging-much like Mommy's. He is a huge fan of "Livin' on a Prayer" and loves listening to it on my IPod. So here is Preston rocking to the IPod which he told me had to be played LOUD!
