hi kathryn

as babies i have never used music, however when jay went into a bed (aged 3 lol) we got a little cd player for him and some story books with cd's - eg playschool, thomas etc. he has a story read to him in bed and then we turn his cd on and he "reads" to his teddy. it is great and he loves it even now at aged 5.

it was also good in the early months when he used to come out all the time or even now if he doesn't go to bed when told his punishment is no story book cd.

quite often now if he wakes up early and it is still cold and dark outside he will get up put his cd on and get back into bed and doze until the rest of us are up and about.
