Band on the Diaper Run

1234, We're not sick of this song yet

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

After talking to a few other parent friends of mine, we found out that "1,2,3,4" is not only a hit but, basically a wonderful children's song (only, she doesn't count right when she's singing, as Mags has noted) 

 

 Magnolia once told me to tell Leslie Feist that she should name her guitar "Singy" after Feist announced from the stage that her guitar is nameless.  Mags was so into the concert that she's been singing her songs ever since that show (last summer, pre-ipod commercial).   

 

PS: Since Jason and I both went to KU, I watched a basketball game last night and it was so good I wanted to move back to Lawrence.

That is adorable!  My 17 month old loves Feist too and says, "More, more" when that song comes on.

My son LOVES this song too.  Something about it (besides the counting) really does make it a great song for children!  If it comes on, he drops everything...

She's perfected it since we last hung - she's awesome! I am dying here.

You always giggle at some point when you take video. I forgot that, its been a few years since I've seen any of your videos.

Hey Kori! I'm a fan and only 18 years old (no kids yet!) and it makes me so happy to see you talking about Kansas! I live in KS and will be going to KU next year. You should definitely put on a show or two. I went to Allen Fieldhouse and watched the game and it was crazy! Wish you could've been there.

Mags is adorable. Hope all is well with June! You are all amazing. :)
