Musical Baby

I work at O.C. Tanner (they make jewelry and recognition awards for several companies) and they have retail stores all over the U.S. They also have, in the same business suite that I'm working in, a 'Factory Outlet Store' and a 'Bargain Outlet Store' that usually have ridiculously overpriced products like an opened Playstation 2 for $200 (right now it's $100 new at Wal-Mart) and a 30GB iPod 'Photo' for $500 that came out 3 years ago and is now worth about $80, if that. In the 'Bargain' store they have some great things I've seen...like a GE Cordless phone and dock, without the phone. I also saw today a workout trampoline for $30. When I checked the tag, it said 'all legs missing'. A trampoline with no legs?! Just what I've been looking for! But anyway, enough bitchin'! The point is I usually hate their stores but today I found an amazing deal. :O

I purchased a JVC MXKC38 shelf stereo system to put in our living room because Holly told me last night we need to get a CD player to play some lullaby CDs for the baby. It has a CD player, radio, iPod dock, etc. Online the price was at least $130, I got it for $73 because it was 50% off and labeled "scratches." When I got home and opened it, there were absolutely no scratches at all. Yay!

So anyway, the point of this post, is I just hooked it up and put my iPod on the dock to test her out. I put it on shuffle and some Tom Petty (my favorite) came on, 'Mary Jane's Last Dance'. I was sitting there, loving it, when I looked over and the baby was totally jammin' out to it, bouncing around and smiling like crazy. It was the cutest dad-gummed thing I've ever seen! I tried to get a video to put on here but he wouldn't cooperate :(

I like to think he's musically gifted since my entire family is and maybe he'll play some instruments and whatnot, but deep down I know pretty much every kid ever loves music. Maybe they don't all love Tom Petty, though. I won't force it, but I'll be hoping. Anyway, it was awesome! He sends his love!
