Tonight's song, Paper Bag by Anna Nalick, is dedicated to any child who has ever been bullied.

Those of you who are familiar with Blind Melon's No Rain will understand Anna's references such as "fly little bee away" and "no more rain", but even those of you who do not know it, will get her point.

If you have a child who is being bullied, hopefully this song will comfort and if you have a child who is a bully, maybe he or she will feel compassion after hearing it.

I thought I remembered there being an official video for this song, but I couldn't find it, so this one will have to do.

Tonight I bring you Three Is A Magic Number by Blind Melon. Blind Melon covered the song in 1996 for the Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks album. The song was originally performed by Schoolhouse Rock musical director, Bob Dorough in 1973. I personally like the Blind Melon version better.

Besides being a catchy tune, it's a great way to begin exposing your little one to the number 3. The song describes many things that are made up of three (my favorite being "...three in the family" :) The chorus is a great way for those of you who have children who are a tad bit older, to teach them multiplication.

This song = fun homework!
