Me Ol' Bamboo
I'm a lifelong learner, and I try to teach my kids to be that way too. Learning isn't just about studying math or English in school. It's about being curious and optimistic and wanting tomorrow to be better than today.
Mostly, though, I just really love learning strange new things. Like the fact that the latest trend in material manufacturing is bamboo.
I only know about this because the nice people at the Baby Dagny store sent me a sample bamboo washcloth. They're not kidding when they say it's one of the softest materials around. It's also organic and pesticide-free, which is awesome for a baby's sensitive skin.
Baby Dagny has a full-line of these Belgian bamboo creations (who knew Belgium was a hotbed of bamboo?!), including robes, towels, bibs, and washcloths. Find them all here.
My kids aren't babies anymore, although they certainly act like it at times, but I'm definitely going to pick up a few bamboo baby products for some new cousins that have come into the family. It's a really unique gift.
Speaking of bamboo, one of my all-time favorite songs as a child was "Me Ol' Bam-Boo" from the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang soundtrack. I still think Dick Van Dyke is a comic genius. Anyway, here's that classic song...
Listen: Dick Van Dyke - "Me Ol' Bam-Boo"
And does anyone remember the 80's band Big Bam Boo?
Listen: Big Bam Boo - "Fell Off A Mountain"

It was just brought to my attention as well that stuff is being made of bamboo. A couple of the gals in the playgroup knit out of bamboo yarn. I couldn't imagine it, but then I saw it, it is surprisingly soft. Knitting, it's all the rage.
Those are great tunes, know them both.
Bamboo is an amazing material.
Never felt it but I did check their baby suits out that looked like camo material not so long ago, it always caught my eye the add in your sidebar.
Cool, your kids sound just great to appreciate classical music!
Good song. I never heard it until a local radio station became defunct & a playlist made the rounds.
