Forgot My iPod

I forgot my iPod -- after all my meticulous packing and lists, we left without it. I realized in the car on the way to the airport. I guess, there are worst things I could have forgotten.

But I love music. I NEED music. So, daily I miss my little iPod. Music soothes the savage beasts -- which includes my kiddos. We are a music family.

We've been making mixes for Leah since she was about 1-year-old and would scream in the car on the way to school in the morning. It started because a Coconut Records song ("West Coast") would calm her down. So, every few months, we make a new one for her. According to Leah, some songs are "tricky songs" and some are "turkey songs" but some don't fall into either category. We have yet to figure out a pattern.

In honor of my little green iPod, here's the playlist from Leah's (and Alice's) current car mix:

"Wilco (the Song)" Wilco (dubbed the "Coco" song by Alice)
"The Captain" Guster
"Closer to Fine" Indigo Girls (called, "The Two Girls Song)
"If I Had Eyed" Jack Johnson (or "The Eyes Song" -- this is a "tricky" song)
"Don't Let Me Down" The Beatles
"Cousins" Vampire Weekend (though Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" is an old favorite)
"Here Comes Your Man" Pixies
"Heart Like a Kick Drum" Avett Brothers (the latest addition)

Rock on and enjoy!
