Thread Name: Songs that work magic with little ones
Subject: RE: Songs that work magic with little ones
Cool thread. My story is either really strange or maybe it's just me, or both!! When we were expecting my oldest, we didn't get out much. My wife didn't have morning sickness exactly but the aroma of any kind of food would set her off. Consequently, we spent a lot of time watching TV and at that time, Cheers was on three times a night in syndication and on Thursday's the real one was on so potentially, we could see four episodes in a night. We were cheers fans so we generally watched them all. So time passes, we're blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby girl. When she's a year old, she's walking pretty well and we're still couch potatos pretty much watching Cheers whenever it's on. the funny thing is, when the theme song came on one night, Mandy came running up to the TV and stared at it until the song was over. We didn't take much notice to it at first but we found that she did this EVERY time the song was on. It occurred to us that maybe she's remembering the song from hearing it in the womb about a million times. We taped the show once, fired up the video camera, and taped her running in the room to hear the song.....it's one of my favorite tapes...
