A new purchase that proves to be a hit! Martin and Elliot put this bicycle seat to use yesterday, and Elliot absolutely loved the ride. They took about an hour long ride, and Elliot seemed pretty awed by the whole experience...mostly quiet with a relaxed dazed look on his face but a few squeals here and there. The two are looking forward to a lot more rides together through the neighborhood and to the downtown library, especially now that the weather is getting warmer.
This is what happens when you don't play classical or baby music for your infant: They gravitate toward post-modern industrial hard rock.
And no, he doesn't listen to this for those of you who are wondering.
Now this is more like it. Nothing like a little soul/blues music to ride around the apartment to. That's good taste in music!
P.S. Elliot also does listen to classical music, and very occasionally when Dad is not around he listens to kids music. He is a Rennaisance music man.

Judging from his facial expressions, all that good music you're playing for him is glazing him over. Elliot, stick to Ben Harper and Emmylou for a few more years yet! Aunt Nita
Good choices in music Elliot. I agree with Aunt Nita, and maybe you need music that will keep you more awake :) I hope you like your present that's coming in the mail. Love you, Aunt Carmen

As for music that will guarantee that he will turn out okay---Gospel Echoes and Chuck Wagon Gang.
The rest is not tried and tested; makes a guinea pig out of him.
Way to keep your musical tastes from getting too narrow, Elliot. :-) Both blues and Beethoven--I like it. Don't forget to add in some Mennonite choral sounds from time to time to connect with your roots.
