a playlist for owen

ok, is it so crazy that i saw this ad for the ipod nanos and thought it would be the perfect christmas gift for? i know, i know he's three and its an ipod for goodness sake. but bear with me--this afternoon we googled for the release of the new coldplay we heard on kcrw last night--it took me a minute to recognize the song bentley was playing but owen knew right away the riffs from "life in technicolor" and the drumbeats from "viva la vida." his favorite game is dance party--and we're not talking about the wiggles; just run the mp3 playlist in the living room and tagteam dance moves. seriously. not to mention his total dominance of the cd changer in the jeep--he not only knows elizabeth mitchell is in cd3 and "rollercoaster" is on juno in cd5 . and his newest discovery? abba gold: "the first song is dancing queen!". besides, you should have seen him in the applestore--kid in the candy store, definitely, but he could show those "geniuses" a thing or three. . . besides, he could get orange and the super-squishy kid-friendly earbuds with a low volume max. i'm just saying. santa gets the laptop and mommy gets to rock.

I think it's a brilliant idea. Seriously. He needs his own iPod.

actually i could give him my old pink one and he'd be, you know, tickled, and thanks d. for the offering of your old nano... i believe grandma and grandpa are getting him a cd player of his own which will be fabulous since he literally spends an hour at a time playing with the cd/record player at nana and papa's house. he loves to "read" the cd books and covers which is actually why my old ipod would be no fun ;)
