It started ages ago when Jordan pulled out records from his childhood for Rio (yes, we have vinyl straight from the 70s) but has increased as of late because the boys have become fixated on Baby Beluga. They LOVE it. They have a Baby Beluga book that I sing along to, and it is their absolute favourite. Both boys sing "Baaaaaby" along with the song; Nolan can also hum the whole tune and Asher can ask for it by name: "Baby Luck".
Raffi's music is pretty cute but it goes around and around and around in my head - something completely unwelcome at 12am when I'm still not asleep! His songs have such a good message for kids though, especially "All I Really Need":
All I really need is a song in my heart,
food in my belly,
and love in my family.
I love hearing Rio walking around singing that to herself - what a great message, and really, so very very true. According to Raffi, this family's got it made!
And as an aside, in its own bit of awesome coincidence, at the same time as I had the thought for this post my favourite Canucks blog posted an interview with the man Raffi himself! Check it out here.

I love it! Summer has been singing 'you are my sunshine' with the odd round of 'jingle bells' :-)
ReplyDeleteBaby Beluga was the first album I bought Maren when she was a baby because I had loved it when I was a kid. An absolute classic!'All I Really Need' is a fantastic little song...
