Love Songs for Kids

February 13, 2010

With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I’ve been thinking of all the sweet songs about family and love that we listen to every day. Ivan tends to be pretty snuggly in the afternoon after school and we’ll sit and listen to some of these mellow songs and just cuddle—until it’s time to start playing again!
