A new song!

Last week, Melanie came home from school ALL EXCITED because she learned a brand new song! "Mommy, it's this really cute song about a spider." And she proceeds to begin singing "The itsy Bitsy Spider." My child is 5 years old, and didn't know the Itsy Bitsy Spider!! Thinking back on it, even before she was born, she didn't like traditional kid music. When I was pregnant, she rocked and rolled to "Ridin' Dirty", when she was first born, the only thing that would calm her down was Kenny Chesney, and as she got older, she could never tolerate kid music! She went from country music to all of the tween music that was played on Disney Channel, like Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers, and Taylor Swift! She listened to Taylor Swift so much when I was pregnant with Meredith that once she was born, the only thing that calmed her down was a little T. Swift! So because Melanie didn't like kid music, Meredith started off the same way!! In all honesty, the fact that they don't listen to normal kid music has probably saved my sanity over the last 5 years, but their teachers are going to think I am crazy when they find out what songs my kids don't know!!
