Music and More

Since Cael has become such a dancing machine, we've taken to turning on the children's music station on Comcast and letting it play in the background sometimes. I tried the toddler's station, but it's harder to rock out to Raffi than to High School Musical. You try shaking your booty to "If You're Happy and You Know It" and you'll see what I mean.

As the music plays, the television goes through a (very limited) slideshow. The pictures are of things like girls pillow fighting and very!happy!kids wearing backpacks. Each picture has an accompanying fun fact. I know they're "fun" facts because they are prefaced with, "Wow!" and "Hey!" and "Betcha didn't know!" (I'll tell you what I do know - "betcha" isn't a word. But, then again, what do I expect from a channel called "Kidz Only!")

Whoa! The Crayola factory in Easton, PA opened in 1996!

See? Without that "Whoa!" I'd think that was the most ridiculous fact ever and I would immediately flush it from my brain. But I will retain it forever and regale people with its awesomeness because WHOA it's great!

You'd never guess the first pencils were left unpainted to show off the high quality of the wood!

No, I wouldn't!

Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Made you look!

...I don't even know what to say.

I'm going to have to get a radio.
