From the first day our kids slept in their own rooms, they slept with music playing.
Maybe it is just me, but I never put in "kids" music for them to listen to. Currently Vaughn is listening to the Counting Crows, Ava and the rest of the girls are listening to Michael Buble or Classical music. They have to take turns picking music so it varies depending on who is choosing.
The plan is working well, the kids have a great ear for music and wont listen to most of the overproduced crap that they market to kids. Thankfully all three girls refuse to listen to Miley Cyrus and all the other little pop princesses (with the exception of Miranda Cosgrove). Ava loves Showtunes and Michael Buble. Faith listens to Dave Matthews and Helena prefers Coldplay. One of our favorite memories is from a few years back.....Ava was in love with the Phantom of the Opera and she insisted on it playing at night. It must have been 2am when Christine belted out a sharp note. Jason sat straight up in bed, completely freaked out that someone was being murdered. Needless to say, that was the last night Phantom was played all night long.
Music is something that all 6 of us share, last night we all sat around and made up silly songs while Jason played the guitar. Ava has written a couple songs and we were trying to find a melody to accompany her lyrics. I had such a good time, it was a night I will never forget.

Dont try to lie and say that you are broke, cause she already knows that you sold your switchblade knife.
Sounds like fun. I love unplanned funness like that.
Hey, I sleep listening to Counting Crows. You are going to raise a genius if you aren't careful.
Didn't know about your mom. I am sorry. We will pray for her for sure.
