Jace LOVES hip hop music. I mean, loves it more than any 7 year old should. He sings that Replay song about 30 times a day. He catches on to tunes and words faster than I do, so we have to be very careful; but I took heart at our recent conversation.
Some hip hop song was playing at Golfland and he turns to me and says:
Jace: Mom, this is a bad song
Me: (Listening and not catching any "bad" words he knows (stupid, shut up, etc.) Really? I thought you liked hip hop. Why is this one bad?
Jace: Because I can just tell. The singer sounds angry and mean and mad, like he is about to say a bad word.
Me: Oh, you're right. It does sound like that.
Jace: Yeah, the hip hop songs I like don't sound bad like that one. The singers sound nice.
Now, if he can just remember this forever and ever and ever! I love the sweetness of my boys at these ages. I wish I could just freeze them all...old enough to be independent, out of diapers, walk on their own, get dressed on their own, but young enough to still be my babies...they love me to wrap them in their towels, find their clothes for them, come on field trips, introduce me to their friends, sing to them, do silly dances, snuggle, kiss, and read with me, and look at me with that awesome look that only a mom knows, you know, that look that tells you they think you are the coolest, most beautiful thing ever? I tell myself everyday, "Remember this."

That is so sweet. I love that Jace likes hip hop music. Hopefully he grows out of it sooner than Matt, who is 30 and still loves it! Thank goodness for edited versions! Ok, so where are you guys headed to? You have to know by now, right??
What a great perception he has, he must get it from his mom! What a great kid and what a wonderful post. If you figure out how to freeze let me know I'm running out of time!
Where is Jace when I need him? Max so needs a friend like that!!
That is so cute! You are the cutest Mom. I loved this post & I would LOVE to hear Jace singing "good" hip hop music.
