Boyo requested that I download a song for him off iTunes. He’s begun to listen to it over and over and over again. It’s “The All American Rejects.” Good news, it’s “Move Along” vs “Dirty Little Secret” which I liked the first 5000 times I heard it but now…meh. Anyway…he’s 10 so…musical development, right on schedule. He’s had some sort of music player in his room from the moment he came home to us. Because we had it in his nursery, he almost immediately falls asleep to anything by Clannad or Enya. When he was fussy, it was the only music that would calm him down. He’s moved on to other music to listen to before he fades away for the night.

But he’s made the leap. Music isn’t just for falling asleep anymore. I’m not sure it’s a good thing or not. When I went to basic I literally couldn’t fall asleep because there was no music and I’d fallen asleep to music from the time I was 10 until I joined up at 22.

Apparently the Lego people are adding popular music to their commercials because as far as Boyo is concerned it’s “The Bionicle song.” (Click on Inika Web Commercial)
