Caspar Babypants and Foxy Lady

I wanted to share a great children's music artist since it's basically saved me from stuck-in-the-car-with-my-daughter's-music-on-repeat insanity!

My daughter Ev loves listening to her music in the car, over and over and over.  I've heard Raffi and the Wiggles so many times I just had to find something else.

We get all of our music and books at our local public library, which is where we discovered Caspar Babypants.  We've listened to several of his albums over and over, and I actually like the music too!  My two year old daughter loves singing to several of his songs, and you have to love that there's even a Nirvana cover song "Sliver" thrown in (one of my daughter's favorites!).  Chris Ballew (Caspar Babypants is his stage name) sounds pretty cool too.  I just love all of the instrumentation that is included in his songs.  Maybe we'll have to catch one of his shows!

Here's one of his videos, "Butterfly Driving a Truck":


Ev's now into Jimi Hendrix, particularly the song Foxy Lady (I started singing it to her to get her to wear her fox pj's).  I've heard it so many times in the last two days I think I might be sick of it (can you get sick of Hendrix?).  She even turned around when we were eating at In-N-Out and yelled "Foxy Lady" at the woman sitting solo in the booth behind us!  Let's hope she took it as a compliment :)
