John's iTunes Playlist

John hasn't taken a regular nap since the end of last summer (boo hiss). Instead of naps we now institute "quiet time". Quiet time for John means playing by himself in the office/playroom, while Anna is napping, so I can have a little down time in the day without someone following me around/whining/asking me to play with them/being loud/watching kid shows on TV.  (Man that sounds awful but we all know a momma needs a little rest in the day). It only lasts about 50-60 minutes so I think that's fair.

Quiet time used to be a pretty easy thing for John but lately it is a point of contention. QT is met with a chorus of "AAAAWWWWW!!!" and "I dont WANNA do quiet time!" and "no. NEV-ER!" One thing John does like is listening to music during quiet time. Offering my iPod stereo usually diffuses the tense situation. In December he was all about listening to Christmas music during quiet time--specifically "Joy to the World". The man literally listened to "Joy to the World" on repeat for the entire hour of quiet time on several occasions.

So in the spirit of music, John and I put together an ecclectic playlist of his favorite songs for him to jam to during quiet time. In no particular order here is John's Quiet Time iTunes Playlist:

Joy To the World - Casting Crowns
O Holy Night - Matthew Perryman Jones/Your King Has Come CD
Drive My Car - Laurie Berkner
The Goldfish Song - Laurie Berkner
Under A Shady Tree - Laurie Berkner
I've Got A Butt - Uncle Jim
Make A Joyful Noise - Psalty
Our God - Chris Tomlin
Famous One - Chris Tomlin
Mad - Ne-Yo
You're The One That I Want - John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John/Grease Soundtrack
Dynamite - Taio Cruz
Blessed Be Your Name - Tree 63
Down On the Corner - CCR
Gasolina - Daddy Yankee
Up Around the Bend - CCR

Interesting mix, huh? A little dance. a little praise. a little funk. and a lotta fun!
