During the day, I usually have music on in the house - praise and worship, oldies, country, folk, Beiber.
No, not Beiber. Well, only on Fridays...when Ellenie requests it.
But I am always looking for "good" children's music.
Children's music that I actually enjoy kind-of-music.
Put it on in the background while we craft kind-of-music.
Music that we can sing alot with, not scream along with kind-of-music.
We have loved Elizabeth Mitchell for years now and I was pleased to find something similar in Frances England a while back. They both have some great original songs and some great re-makes of some classics.
There is one song that just says it all about the way I'm feeling right now.
Listen to it here.
(it's the last song on the Family Tree cd)
You and Me
by Frances England
You and me, happy as can be
Flying through the park on our bikes
On a Sunday afternoon
You and me, rolling on the floor
Practicing your somersaults, cartwheels,
Your donkey kicks and more…
How did you grow so big overnight
How did you get so smart and bright
Yesterday you were asleep in my arms
Today you’re growing off the charts
I’m so proud of you.
Your big smile brightens up the room
You and me, reading books in bed
How did you grow so big overnightHow did you get so smart and bright
Yesterday you were asleep in my arms
Today you’re growing off the charts
I’m so proud of you.
You and me, drawing pictures wild and free
While the paint goes flying,Your big smile brightens up the room
You and me, reading books in bedYour head on my shoulder,
Your eyes on the pages ahead
Today you’re growing off the charts
