Wii time, Barenaked Ladies

O.k., so glaciermom and I love our Wii. Glaciertoddler loves watching the little Mii's running around. In particular, he likes helping glaciermom and the shooting mini-game on wii play. But sadly, our busy schedules only allow us to play 1 or 2 days a week for about 30 minutes. Bummer.

Recently, I purchased the newest Barenaked Ladies CD. You may be asking, I didn't know they had a new CD. Well, they do, but you have to look in the Children's music aisle. Let me tell you, the CD is awesome. The first track attempts to answer an age old question, "Why did 7 eat 9?" and the ramifications of not having the number 9 any more. The next song, one about ninjas, is spot on. Some songs are bit simplistic (even for a kids album). Example, most of the song "Popcorn" has the lyrics "Pop, Pop,Pop,Pop ..." etc. But my favorite track is "Crazy ABC's". For you word buffs, this song is absolutely great. Most of us know the more traditional versions, you know "A is for apple, B is for boy, C is for cat". Well apparently for a few band members they decided they needed to spiff it up so now ...

• A is for aisle
• B is for bdellium
• C is czar
• d is for djinn
• E for Euphrates
• F for fohn
• G for Gnarly
• I for Irk
• H for hour

Absolutely wonderful! Some words most will know, some only scrabblers will know (Qat). You must hand it to them, trying to increase little kids vocabulary.
