Reed, the singer

So my darling Reed loves to sing... And especially songs from the radio or Rob's iPod. Well, I am a country music fan and listen to it all the time in the car. Lately, I have been loving this song "Country Girl" by Luke Bryan. I mean you just can't help but turn it up and move a little! And it super awesome to hear it sung by a 4 year old. His favorite part to sing is:

"Country Girl, shake it for me, girl
Shake it for me, girl
Shake it for me"

I'm sure you can imagine...

This reminds me of another song by Luke Bryan called "Rain". Reed knows the whole chorus by heart which goes something like this:

"Rain makes corn
Corn makes whiskey
Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky
Back roads are bogging up
My buddies piled up in my truck
We hunt our homies down and take them in to town
Start washing all our worries down the drain
Rain is a good thing"

Precious, really. However, not necessarily always appropriate. We went to a children's book reading at a local bookstore - called pajamarama or something. Basically the point was to have your kids wear their jammies to story time. So here we go. Well the book reader says we are going to read some books about rain...anyone know any books or songs about rain? At this point, I immediately spot a book I must look at because I know exactly what is coming. As if on cue, Reed raises his hand and I just grin that Rob will be handling this situation solo. Of course, the book reader calls on Reed and he proudly states "I know a song about rain." Book reader - "you do, well hoe does it go?" Reed proceeds to sing (loudly, there is no other way) the chorus above. Luke helped a little as well - yeah, us! At the end, book reader, apparently not a country music fan, and the other parents - I did mentioned there were like 7 other families - who must also not be country music fans, were a little like "huh". I can imagine the book reader was expecting Itsy Bitsy Spider or Rain, Rain Go Away - but no the Rain makes whiskey song. Classic!! Rob tried to defend the boys, like hello it is on the radio right now, but no, I think those folks thought we were cuckoo. I just think we are fun.

But Reed's all-time favorite song so far is Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. We have a short recording of him singing while "playing the piano".
