I just came across a great musician.  Justin Robert’s is an indie-musician who’s songs, though geared towards kids, are smart and very stylish…he’s kind of mix between James Taylor, Paul Simon and Greenday.

Anyway, we just purchased his latest CD ‘Meltdown’ for our 5 yr. old and sometimes find ourselves listening to it when he’s not in the car with us! :)

There is one song in particular, ’Cartwheels and Somersaults’, which is about how excited everyone is that a baby sister has arrived (sung from an older sibling’s point of view.)  Perfect if you’ve adopted a little girl from China and you already have an older child. My son calls it the Baby Sister Song!

Check it out on CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/roberts5

You can also listen to this song on CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/mp3lofi/roberts5-10.m3u

A sample of the fantastic lyrics:

Who knew a baby sister could come along

and make us realize how much we’d always missed her…


Chorus

So now we’re doing cartwheels and somersaults, and it’s all your fault

Yeah, it’s all your fault.

It’s you-ooh we love (mama can I hold her)

It’s you-ooh we love (yes, put her on your shoulder)

It’s you-ooh we lo-u-ove

I tear up everytime I hear it! :)

 

About Author

The Zen of Adoption is started as a way to share our adoption journey with family and friends. Our wait is long and we realized that life goes on and can't be segmented, as surely as our child will become a member of our family, this journey is really just a part of our family's ongoing adventure! So this blog has become more than just an adoption account, it is about our family, past, present, and future! Enjoy, Eileen
