My 20 month old son loves Gwen Stefani
Posted on September 27, 2007 in the Parenting, Stay At Home Dad category
My son is infatuated with Gwen Stefani and it’s all my fault. Vincent, all of 20 months old, asks (several times a day) to watch either “Hee Hoo” (a.k.a. “Sweet Escape”) or “Tick Tock” (a.k.a.”What are you waiting for?” He will actually get up and dance along with it and try to sing along. Of course he wouldn’t even know who she was if I didn’t listen to her myself - one of those things that most guys probably wouldn’t have the kajones to admit 
I have been a fan of No Doubt since the Beacon Street days and unashamedly admit that I am excited to hear that they are in the studio together again. Its definitely time for some new material.
As for Vincent - the poor boy doesn’t have a chance when it comes to music. Where I have yet to develop any real music skills of my own (someday I will) I still consider myself a “musical” person, which is to say that I love music and I hope to pass on my enthusiasm to my children. And to that end (and for my own enjoyment) I Tivo Gwen or No Doubt every chance I get. The funny thing was that it took only one viewing for Vinny to fall in love. I should clarify, though, that I am pretty sure he actually likes the music too, not just Gwen or the videos, as he enjoys listening to it in the car as well. Which just reminded me - when he was quite young, from about 2 months until about 1 year old, he was a big fan of Dave Matthews’ Band (again, my fault). The second track on the newest album “Stand Up” called “Old Dirt Hill” would be the only thing that would soothe him enough to fall asleep in the car. He still likes listening to Dave Matthews but its no longer necessary to get him to fall asleep.
