"Let's Go Crazy, Crazy, Crazy"...We're Raising a 4 Year Old Who Thinks He is 14!!

                                   

On Sunday night we were coming back from my parent's house.  Jacob has a 10 year old cousin who likes the group One Direction and has their CD with the song "Live While We're Young."

Jacob loves to sing the chorus.  The italic part are the words he doesn't know and just fits the words in as he hears them..."Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy, 'til we see the sun, I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love, and never, never, never stop for anyone.  Tonight let's get some and live while we're young."

I just love that my 4 (almost 5) year old is singing, "Tonight let's get some and live while we're young."  I think I can only stand it because I know he knows the words to "I Am A Child of God,"  "Choose The Right," "I Love to See The Temple,"  etc.  Only he doesn't just break out in song with those tunes coming out of him!

I diverge....as we were driving home he wanted to hear that song on the radio and we explained that you have to wait until a song is played (we didn't mention that we don't have any stations programed that would play that song anyway).  We then pulled out Jason's phone and played it once for him, but he wanted to hear it again. We told him it was Mom and Dad's turn for a song, turned on the radio and started to listen to a song by Journey.

He wanted the phone again and we told him not right now.  We continued to listen to Journey.  Jacob then began to sing at the top of his lungs, "Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy, 'til we see the sun..." trying to drown out Journey.  Jason and I just started laughing and wondering what 14 is going to be like.

That's funny! I guess I'd better look up that song and listen to it so I'm "with it."
