Edwin and his tunes



Edwin requested three songs (and only three) to be uploaded onto his DS:
  1. "Party Rock Anthem" (which he calls "Every Day I'm Shuffling")
  2. "Gangnam Style"
  3. "Call Me Maybe"
This is after he discovered one music video pre-loaded onto it that's he's been listening to on and off for a day now. I haven't heard the song yet because he always listens to it with headphones on, but whatever it i,s he loves it.

But we felt bad about him having only the one song, so we Googled how to get iTunes music onto a DS, and it's pretty easy. I tried to get a longer playlist on there for him, but he insisted on only adding those three songs.

Playing those uploaded songs is not as easy for him because you have to navigate a bunch of different menus, many of which require literacy, so he ends up going back to that one song he knows how to find.

He walks around in circles, listening to the song over and over, sometimes bobbing his head back and forth, sometimes doing some shuffling move with his feet. It's adorable and we'll try to get it on video at some point.

Watching him brings back memories of sitting in my room, listening to music on that mini record player over and over. I seem to remember doing this in Pittsburgh, so I would've been around Edwin's age. Mom, can you confirm this is an accurate memory?

Yes, you did have a little record player in your room in Pittsburgh.

You would be wearing your Cleveland Indians hat I think. One difference--you were not listening to popular music, but rather children's records.
