So today my regular daily post and the song of the day are combined into one posting. All three of my kids love music and given my particular obsession, they of course have a love of The Beatles. Recently, we moved Avi into his own bed room. He had been sharing with Noam but that caused bedtime problems, so now Noam and Shayna share a room and Avi has his own.
Soon after we bought him a clock radio/cd player for his room. He quickly figured out that his “alarm” could be a CD. I had burned a few CDs for him, but last night he came to me and said, “Abba, can you make a CD for me with “Good Morning, Good Morning” by The Beatles? That would be a great song to wake up to.”
Does my son have good taste or what?
So today’s song is “Good Morning, Good Morning”
And….on top of everything it continues my “middle Beatles” theme that I started yesterday and now I think will continue the rest of the week. “Good Morning, Good Mornin” appears on the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Album.
Enjoy!

sorry for all the comments today – I finally figured out how to find your blog from the comments you’ve left on mine!
How is the “song” alarm working for Avi? We tried a regular alarm (mornings are horrible) but it COMPLETELY freaked Abby out! Maybe we should try the CD alarm. I think I actually have an old one lying around somewhere…
I only realized yesterday that my name on my posts was going to my home page rather than my blog (thanks wreke). Anyway, its interesting because just yesterday my wife read about about using music for adhd kids, specifically small radios in the room. An alarm is not good, but an alarm with music should be great. The article even talked about using an ipod or mp3 player as it allows the child to focus on the music. Anyway, the cd alarm is working to a point. He still takes some time to get up, BUT, my wife has to do less to get him up.
And dont worry about many comments, please keep reading and commenting. i will do the same for you. Our kids have MUCH in common so we should keep in touch.
