Baba Me and Music

The Baba Me team are a wide and varied bunch. Very wide and varied! Without giving too much information away we range from 19 years to (ahem) late 50's. My son Seamus is the youngest team member - with Aunty Mary the eldest (I am so in trouble when she sees I have posted her age range!!!). Those who have visited know Baba Me is a family affair, with aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews all employed! and yes, Aunty Mary really is my aunty Mary! I was once advised to outsource my warehousing, but as that would make 5 members of my family redundant... maybe not!

With such a wide range of ages there is off course a wide range of tastes, and tonight we are talking music. Baba Me recognise the important of music for pre school development and we have a section of our website dedicated to it - musical play. Those who have visited our baby shop in Newry know there is a wide selection of musical toys out for children to play with, and kids are always welcome to blast the rainbow maracas as hard as they can, we love it! Some days the rainbow recorders are.....put up high :-) Getting children involved in music from an early age, even something as simple as singing nursery rhymes, is so good for toddlers development. Getting them instruments just helps them get more involved and more into the fun and games that music can bring.

Last night I had great fun reminiscing about childhood toys. Me and Mr Baba Me spent a good couple of hours talking about the sweets and the games we played as kids. Today we are carrying that theme on and, to appeal to all ages {not just old ones like me as was subtly pointed out last night :-)} I asked the staff in the office this afternoon what was the first album they purchased. This was actually a really fun exercise to do and 90% of staff members were mortified about their first album (most notably Paddy who bough be*wtched!!!!)

So tonights game - guess which member of staff bought which album, 8 to get correct.. Some are obvious, but some might prove tricky so I will give clues every 30 minutes if no one has guessed all 8 correctly.

We have a winner!!! Mel correctly guessed :
