We listen to a boat-load of music around here.  On my computer, in the car, from the boom box that Mr. B has appropriated and brought in to his room.  I love that they have developed a love for music.  Mostly we listen to kids music, either from stuff I’ve found on iTunes, or listening to Kids Place Live (from here on out known as KPL) on satellite radio.  Miss P is still very much in the listen-by-repeat mode, which drives Mr. B crazy.  That’s when I have to remind him of that time a few months ago when we listened to Europe’s The Final Countdown over and over again until our ears bled.

So, I’ve decided to launch a new aspect here on Full of it…

A glimpse of what we’ve been listening to, reactions, thumbs up or down.  Perhaps a video or sound bite here and there.  And, of course, I’m open to your suggestions as well!

We will be using a very developed, technologically advanced Sippy Cup Rating System.   Depending on the song, each kid (or parent) might have their own rating, but in general the rating provided will be an average of the votes for the family.  Ratings will be shown as follows:

Let’s kick this thing off with a favorite of Miss P’s, shall we? Caspar Babypants has some really great tunes that we hear a ton on KPL.  For those that don’t know, Caspar Babypants is Chris Ballew, former front man from The Presidents of the United States of America.  You know, those cooky guys that brought you “” and ““?

Well, Caspar Babypants has this adorable song called “Mister Rabbit“, and Miss P could listen to it a hundred times a day.  In her defense, it’s an easy listen, a catchy tune, and it’s bright and cheery.  Paul Westerberg recorded a years ago, but I happen to like CB’s version better.
