And while Sydney seems to have perfected the hair toss move, and has been sporting a shaggier 'do, the latter is a temporary condition that Auntie Barbie should cure this Friday.
Hair length aside, turns out Daddy has been introducing these sweet little souls to his college-era music of choice: heavy metal. Who knew the six-minute drive to daycare was enough time to influence the musical tastes of these impressionable young minds?Tonight, as we were driving to soccer practice, Sydney asked something I couldn't understand. She repeated herself several times before finally getting Jeff's attention. He knew right away what "Chay pie" meant. She wanted to hear a song from his "Best of the Big Hair Bands" CD.
Do you want to hear "Cherry Pie?" Jeff asked.
Sydney squealed with excitement that Daddy understood and was granting her request. And then AJ interrupted, "No, I want to hear 'We're not gonna take it'!"
Great! Twisted Sister is so much more appropriate than Warrant for the preschool set.
Trying to find a bright note, these kids certainly ought to end up with an appreciation for diverse musical genres. When it's me behind the wheel and in control of the car's CD player, we generally sing along with Sunday School songs. And this is good practice for me, I suppose. After this, their musical choices in, say, 10-15 years maybe won't seem quite so outrageous.
