Jerome Jerome the Metronome is sneaking up on one-and-a-half, getting ready to scare the bejesus out of it with one of his 120-dB screams. This week we discovered that he has a favorite song: “Human,” by The Killers. He can recognize the beginning of the song and, when in his car seat, starts kicking his legs around to dance. When Articulate Joe was his age, he would do the same thing for “Tell Her Tonight” by Franz Ferdinand, and for Crazy Jane it was “Just a Gigolo” by Louis Prima. I don’t know what music I liked when I was 18 months old, but I know it wasn’t anywhere near this cool. Our kids don’t appreciate how much work we put in to keeping them from being nerds. (We have to work extra hard to counteract the homeschooling.)

Erik and I were just talking about this yesterday. How each kid has a favorite song. Charlie's is "Spaceman" by the Killers. He goes crazy, dancing all over the place when I turn it on. So yeah, evidently, 14 month olds can have favorite songs. Aren't you proud that your kids and our kids have such good taste in music?
