The Karaoke Kid

As further proof that Chris is apparently my Mini Me-style clone, he's developed a love affair with music...as well as the singing that comes along with it. Since Holly and I aren't always in the mood for his particular brand of songs, however, we bought him a small MP3 player for Christmas (Note to those of you concerned that we're spoing our children: this is NOT an iPod, but rather a cheapo player from Target!). It's a 1gb model that holds about 250 songs or so. Before putting it under the tree, I filled it with his favorite kid's music, as well as a bunch of oldies and mom-and-dad songs that he's come to love.

Of particular interest to him right now are two songs by (I couldn't BEGIN to make this up!) Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers: All The Gold in California, and Broken Lady. So now, out of his bedroom every night, we're seranaded by the melodious sounds of the five-year-old sensation, The Karaoke Kid! You really haven't lived until you've heard a little kid belting out a heartfelt love song from the 70s!
