Shushybye Book and CD -CLOSED-Ends4/25

I remembered when I was pregnant with my little Sophia, I always sat in the pink rocking chair holding a book in my hand and started to read to her each and every night. The minute I felt that first kick, I knew deep inside my heart that she would love to read books. That is why I still read a book to Sophia each night before bedtime with some classical music afterwards to calm her down. A good way to make her feel at ease.

I was extremely excited, when I was given the opportunity to review both The Shushybye Close Your Eyes Book and the Shushybye Goodnight Deluxe Edition CD. Sophia loves reading and listening to music, so I was quite anxious to see her reaction. After a nice warm bath, we went to her room and sat on her bed with her stuffed animals surrounding her and I started to read the Shushybye Close Your Eyes book. While reading the book, Sophia was quite fascinated with the colorful pictures and paid attention on each story page. The book has a beautiful hardcover and it also glows in the dark. Not only is it fun and enjoyable to read, it also had an audio cd available. He/she can sit and listen to the book being read to them on CD. Great for each toddler or pre-schooler to read before bedtime. Sophia truly enjoyed this book.

Shushybye Close Your Eyes book is about "Shushies who make dreams for children that are sent to them as they fall asleep. Living in such SHUSHYBYE villages as Nap Valley, Snore Shore, Yawn Island and Slumber Heights, the Shushies – led by Snoozles, Dozie and Zeez – place their dreams in Dream Boxes that are sent to sleeping children via the Shushybye Train driven by Conductor McCloud"

There are times when Sophia does not want to go sleep, so we always have an alternative method, which is going for a car ride. So, this particular evening Sophia did not feel the need to sleep immediately and that is when we decided to play the Shushybye Goodnight Deluxe Edition CD in the car. Immediately there was silence in the car and it surely calmed her down. She started to hum to the melody and soon after Sophia was in Shushybye World. She fell fast asleep and we went back home. Just a great way to put a little one to sleep.

"Shushybye is a preschool entertainment and lifestyle brand designed to inspire children to look forward to sleep time and help parents prepare their children for sleep in a fun and loving way that encourages imagination.

The Love and Joy of Music!

Today, we are focusing on " The Love and Joy of Music". We are a family that enjoys Music. Whether it is singing, listening, dancing, playing the key board, music is a big part of our lives. Being a mommy, I love to have my little one to be part of this fun music experience. So, if you have kids around, whether their your own or your neighbors, let us share the fun of music.

To start off, I use this wonderful piano book called " Play me another song " by Jimmy Tanaka. It is the perfect music book, for your little one to start with and get familiar with playing the piano. What I find amazing about the piano book, that it comes with the keyboard. All you need is batteries and your child is ready to play the piano.

Find a nice quiet area, where she can feel comfortable. Sophia loves her room, so we sat at her table. She wanted to play the song " Row, Row, Row your boat". Once the selection of the song was made, she had to press the keys that match the numbered notes above each word.

Simple as that. As you already know, children are eager to learn things, so Sophia was quite eager. First, I showed her how to play the piano book, and then it was her turn. Fantastic! She loved playing the piano book. We kept playing for a while and by the look of her face, you can tell how fascinating she was by it. It truly captured her attention!

Don't forget to have your Happy face on, because believe me you will have fun making music.

You do not necessarily have to get a piano book like the one I showed. You can find anything around your house to make music. Let your child pick out their favorite instrument or if they cannot select one choose one for them and make music together. It is all about team work and having fun making music.

So, whether your a mommy, daddy, grandparents, neighbors, friends, family members and so on, let's spread the "Love and Joy of Music" with children everywhere.

Sincerely,
