Early 00’s R&B to the rescue

[ess]

Just took a lovely walk with my lil (17 months yesterday) and he took an awesome 1.5hr nap. Of course when he woke up, he screamed like he was on fire. Fun fun. Quick diaper change and I get his milk because it was milk/snack time and he pretty much told me to kick rocks and carried on screaming and sobbing. Turned on a 00’s R&B mix and he was instantly chill. We made it another day.

What calmed your tot today?

@ess Harry Belafonte always helped those days where LO got up on the wrong side of the bed. She would dance, bounce, and spin her little heart out and then be happy, crisis averted.

@alzheimersat47 Yeah! Motown and doo-wop over here, when LO was an infant. Just the right viiiibes.

...Now it'll make him more pissed because we're not listening to a certain version of Wheels on the Bus on repeat or some other dumb shit. Man I miss those days lol

@ess My 3.5 year old just discovered Pentatonix. He loves them. It’s toddler tranquilizer in this house.

@ess A single m&m. It was brown, his favourite flavour.
