More shirts!

While watching TV there was some sort of reference to Taylor Swift and Shake it Off and the husband hadn't heard it so I pulled it up on youtube and threw it on the TV. Instantly the baby was mesmerized. Ever since he will literally freeze it whatever position he is in when the video is on. I've been trying to figure out what he loves about it. Is it the beat? I tried Hollaback Girl, no response. Was it the dancing? I tried Single Ladies, no response. Maybe it was just the pop vibe in general? I tried Katy Perry (a favorite of his cousin), no response. I even tried other Taylor Swift videos and nothing. So, when the day is long and challenging, I'm stuck with Shake it Off, on repeat. He's such a weirdo sometimes.

The only saving grace is that he also loves Johnny Cash. We think it's the deep voice and simple music. After getting shots at his 1 year doctor appointment he was very unhappy to be in the car. He was crying and despite whatever was on the radio, he wasn't going be happy. Sure enough, I put my phone on the Johnny Cash channel on pandora and he suddenly stopped crying and was quiet the rest of the ride home. So while he seems to have a fondness for Taylor Swift, at least he balances it with a little Johnny Cash. In support of the less obnoxious choice, I made him some shirts. I'm especially fond the It Ain't Me shirt because I can think "who is that little boy who ate all of his lunch?" and then look at his shirt and not only is it true but it makes me smile. 

I also made myself a shirt for our other blog. You might remember the same design but in a stencil failure. I'm much happier with the vinyl and will wear this one with pride.
