My baby turns 1

*
A year ago, at 12.20pm, a little girl's prayer was answered and our then family of 3 was made complete with the arrival of our precious Bunny Boo.


It's amazing how 12 months can transform a tiny little baby into a little man with the cutest personality....
a little man who loves his big sister to bits, dotes on Daddy (He has been Daddy's Boy right from the womb), adores dogs (one of his 1st words was "dho"{dog}....not Mama!) , loves to serve bouncing balls (He has discovered he can"volleyball" serve all his soft balls and does it with such precision.), loves clapping to his favorite song, "The Joy Of The LORD" and swinging to The Go Fish Guys. (Every single one of their CDs calm him instantly!)

It's such a joy to see my baby blossom in such an awesome way and I'm so grateful for all the LORD has done in him and through him.
(Isn't it amazing how our children bless our lives in such a profound, impactful way?)


Happy 1st Birthday Bunny Boo!

You mean the world to us.

Go Fish!...Fun, Christian Music that won't drive you bonkers!! (Review Only)

Remember the rave 'MOM' song I posted on Mother's Day? Well, since our family loved the song so much I decided I'd research a little more on the singers and was thrilled to find that Jamie, Jason and Andy are more than just the Go Fish guys


...they are singers with a heart for kids, a passion for the Lord, a talent to bring bounce to a simple preschooler's song like the 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' and zeal to bring life to a Sunday School teaching on the 'Ten Commandments'!

Don't believe me? Watch this video....


Bunny girl and I have been having a blast listening to the cds and watching the dvds, Jason blessed us with ...


The Lets Sing dvd and the Go Fish Showtime dvd have upbeat versions of the Sunday School favorites like Lord I lift Your Name on High, the B-I-B-L-E, jesus Loves Me, This Little Light of Mine and I've Got The Joy. The guys are entertaining and funny but at the same time do their part of bringing home the message of the Bible in a way that is easy for a child (and adult) to grasp and absorb.


You can even pick up the Go Fish SuperStar cd and the Snazzy cd to play the Sunday School favorites in the car. Our top six favorite 'Sunday School songs with the Go Fish twist' from these two cds are, without a doubt...

• The Ten Commandment Boogie
• SkinnaMarinkyDinkyDink
• Friends of Mine
  
• Superhero
• Bible Book Bop and
  
• The MOM Song
  

The Go Fish guys have also released Party Like A Preschooler, a cd with preschooler favorites that's perfect to put on when you want to shake those limbs with your little one. I personally think the music is apt for a birthday party as each 'tiny tot' song is sung the 'jazzed up Go Fish' way and can really get your little ones to move! Popular numbers featured include

• Do your ears hang low
• John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (Bunny girl loves this!)
• If you're happy and you know it
• The crazy dance
• The laughing song and
  
• Five little monkeys

(The only song I found a little out of place on the cd was the 'Its hard to be cool' song)


The only cd we're yet to review is Go Fish-Snow. Bunny girl's insistent we wait till its Christmas as it has all the Christmas specials....

• We Three Kings
• Joy to the World
• The Little Drummer Boy and
• Away in a Manger

I've sneaked little parts off the cd and would encourage you to get this cd even if it's just for these two songs- Christmas with a Capital C and It's All About the Cross.....totally worth it!

I personally think the Go Fish guys, bring to the plate, music that I'd want my kids to listen and sing along to. I love that they're a Christian group that have found a way to make Christian music fun for little ones and have even added spunk to those good ol' preschool oldies.

(And I think they've totally won my heart with their MOM song....so I'll vouch for this group anyday!)
