Have you ever made up silly songs on a road trip? Lisa Weyerhaeuser did and now its a hit in my house! We play this cd in the car every morning on the way to school. Aaron always asks for a different song. One morning it may be the Big Green Alligator who fell down on my windshield. I love this song because it helps Aaron learn to ask When, Where, How, and Why. The next morning he may ask for Silly Bob; which is about a money who has lots of friends because he is really nice and he eats corn on the cob. (Aaron always laughs and reminds me that monkey's eat banana's) We also love the My Little Brother song especially since Caleb is Aaron's little brother. I think fondly over what the years will bring with these two as I listen to how the brother evolves in his thoughts on his brother.
I love the way Lisa teaches about the flood and Abraham in Two by Two yet still makes it so fun as she brings animal sounds and the Big Green Alligator/Silly Bob into the song. I have to say my favorite song is the Countdown Song because Aaron has started telling me he is a boy and God made him; then he will proceed to tell me all the things God has made. This cd is very enjoyable to listen to even as an adult; I can be caught singing more song along with Lisa.
Another thing that touches my heart about this cd is that Lisa has dedicated a portion of the sales to Teen Mother Choices International. I had never heard of this program before so naturally I swagged it. TMCInternationa is a unique program that utilizes volunteers from local area churches to help provide teen mothers with a support structure. The charity offers a wide range of services such as childcare so the young mothers can return to school, caring mentors who provide emotional support, and Life Skills Workshops that equip teenage mothers with resources and information to help them become independent functioning members of society. Lisa also has served on the board of organization and has seen what this program can do for these moms. All girls stay off welfare and 100% of them have finished school and found jobs to support themselves and their family.
Please help Lisa and support this cause by purchasing The Big Green Alligator. You can also connect with Lisa on Facebook. I heard she is trying to get the Big Green Alligator and Silly Bob to preform with her. Now that is something I would LOVE to take Aaron to.
