barondaveWell, I'm about 12 hours away from a trip to Washington DC for Thanksgiving. My two brothers, their wives and children, my mother and me, and whatever spares they pick up. We might have gone to my brother's new house in West Virginia (after he escaped from Katrina), but my DC brother's daughter is a bit young.
For my <1 year old niece, I made a music CD. Sort of on the fly, but with thought behind it. My previous CD for infants was a bunch of slow classical and lullaby music. But I noticed my sister-in-law singing to the High Hopes: Songs of Joy and Optimism CD traded with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Seasons of the Year
Days of the Week
Colors of the Rainbow
Superheroes
Songs about Fish (and other things that live in the water)
Songs about people named John

It's a pretty cool collection, though, and just about the right length for a CD. I'm not quite sure what to call it: currently it's just labeled "Water Creatures."
