There is a newer song out right now that Paityn loves to work out to.
BedRock
The first time we heard this song was when Paityn was working out (softball conditioning) with the 16A NW Bullets softball team. Tracy invited Paityn to continue her conditioning when we left The Spot Fitness. This was the best move we ever made for Paityn. Tracy works the girls out hard and Paityn loves it….
Every time this song came on during the workout and every time there was a bad word sung the entire team would “SCREAM”. At first I could not figure out why they would scream like that. Later that evening Tracy told me why and we both laughed. She told me that the girls were protecting Paityn from all the bad words that were in the song, not actually all the bad words, but just the bad things they were singing about. I thought that was very nice of the girls for blocking part (actually most of the song) from Paityn.
When Tracy started a softball conditioning class with Paityn’s 12A softball team, Tracy asked Paityn to build a “play list” to play during the class. Paityn was excited and had it all done by the first class. Paityn had really thought about what she wanted on the “play list”. She had a little slower songs at the beginning, when the girls are warming up, fast paced songs in the middle, during the “hard” portion of the workout. And then again slower songs, during the cool-down. I thought she did a great job!!!
Once the workout started, so did the songs. About half way through this song (Bed Rock) came on, Tracy looked at me and asked…”is this the clean version?” I replied, “Is there a clean version?” We both just laughed and the girls continued their workout.
On our 45 minute drive home, Paityn played the song in the car. She listened to the entire song in great detail. Once the song was finished she said. “There was only one bad word mom, it was the “P” word”. I just said, “Well you must have gotten the clean version then”. What else was I supposed to say???
She thinks the song is about the Flintstones and the town of Bed Rock!!!!
I want to bottle up all her charming hopes and dreams, her endearing innocence and her enchanting confidence to fuel her spirit forever.
