When my older son started his new preschool in the fall, he fell in serious crush mode with Princess. He's moved on to an even older woman: children's singer Laurie Berkner.

We don't own a television (yes, you read correctly, no t.v.) so I had no knowledge of this thing called "Noggin," or Laurie Berkner. A few weeks ago we received a review copy of the new DVD "We are the Laurie Berkner Band."  I popped it into my laptop for Nol and me to watch and he. was. hooked.

We both loved the music.  But my sweet four-year-old son? Crushing on Laurie big time. And why not? The video sets are simple so he gets to focus on his lady dancing are around with her band. His favorites are "We are the Dinosaurs," "Victor, Vito," and "Moon, Moon, Moon." And her really digs the "Telephone Song" because "Laurie's being silly, right mama?" He talks about her bright clothes, her funny dance moves. It's terribly sweet. And now, when  we see the DVD at Starbucks (who is selling the video), he see's it and says "Mom! There's LAURIE!" for everyone in line to hear. Nol asked about the band. I read up about them and told Nol that Brian Mueller was her husband, like Daddy is my husband. His response? "NO Mama! He is NOT her husband. She doesn't HAVE a husband."

Laurie Berkner? My son *hearts* you. Your fan numero uno.
