Rock-a-bye Baby!

You parents out there who are ready to pull your hair out listening to Baby Einstein nursery rhymes and lullabies, I may have the prescription to restore your sanity. Is there really a way for you to listen to lullabies along with your child and have both of you in melodic bliss? Yesterday, I would have told you "No." But today I can enthusiastically answer "Yes!"

Emily, Rex, and I were at USA Baby looking at strollers and on our way out I noticed a conspicuous CD display. I walked by and did a double take. "Did that really just say what I thought it said?" After a second look I realized I'd read it right "Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Metallica" I began scouring the offerings and found lullaby renditions of Queen, Nirvana, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, and even Led Zeppelin. I was sold. We walked out with the Queen CD.

Still a bit skeptical, I plugged it into the CD player and was instantly gratified at my purchase as I watched Rex drift into Bohemian Bliss and found myself singing along to the instrumentation. Each song is slowed down and sounds just like a typical lullaby. No lyrics, just soft, soothing instrumentals.
