All the single ladies...

As of right now we don't really listen to secular music with the girls. I'm trying to find a balance of what is too much for their little ears and what is ok. Sometimes I feel like I"m being over protective and sometimes I feel like I'm doing the right thing. I personally won't let them listen to people like Lady Gaga. I just think the message being sent is too much for them-especially girls. And right now they don't know the difference. Some people have told me that they're too little to understand it and I know that but I also just want to set us in the right direction. I don't want the girls listening to music that suggest sex or longing for boys. Yuck!


Well yesterday I needed a break-the girls wanted to watch a movie. We were looking on the on-demand button on the tv. They saw Alvin and the Chipmunks and I reluctantly said yes. No one sat and watched the movie with her because Aaron and I were cooking and cleaning. But she sat still and watched the ENTIRE movie. After it was over she moved a kitchen chair in the center of the kitchen. She got up in the chair and moved her little hips and body in ways I didn't know was possible ...all while humming the tune to All the Single Ladies.

It was SO funny! But after watching it ONE time she could hum the tune and remember some of the dance steps. We didn't get bent out of shape or anything but laughed really hard at her. When it was time for dinner she started crying saying she wasn't finished with "her show."

But this just goes to prove that what they watch and hear is SO important even at THREE years old.

I'm just glad she didn't sing the part "if you like it then you should of put a ring on it" LOL
