Baby Einstein Wake-up and Goodnight CD The Baby Einstein Wake-up and Goodnight CD is a collection for babies, with music that is calm, soothing and delightful to listen to, which makes it perfect for rising in the morning to, or going to bed with. Songs on the CD include Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto, Beethoven’s Rondo a Capriccio, Chopin’s Nocturne and Mozart’s Piano Sonata.

Even though the CD is designed for infants and babies, I bought it to use for my nearly two year old son. He enjoys music, and sometimes needs help with settling down for naps and bed times. We pop the CD in his clock radio, set it to repeat, turn the volume low, and let it go. It works beautifully — since introducing the CD several months ago, my son now often falls asleep in less than fifteen minutes, whereas before he would be awake for an hour or more.

I recently had the opportunity to choose a personalized item from personalizedstories.com. As the name suggests, personalizedstories.com offers personalized kids’ items, including books, music CDs, DVDs, singing and talking stuffed animals, alarm clocks, poems and a few other items that are available for personalization.

Every item available at personalizedstories.com has hundreds of names available to choose the one you’re looking for from. Each name comes with a handy pronunciation guide, and a sample as well, so that if you’re ordering an item that plays audio (such as a CD or DVD), you can be sure to choose the proper name and pronunciation.

Since Alyssa has a lot of neat toys and trinkets, my husband and I decided to pick a music CD for Ryan:

The CD is adorable! In addition to hearing Ryan’s name pop up throughout the fourteen songs on the CD, his name is also printed on the label of the CD, along with a personalized message that we specified.

Not surprisingly, the CD is a hit. Ryan perks up whenever he hears his name, and Alyssa loves listening to “Ryan’s songs”!

Since Alyssa enjoys listening to Ryan’s CD so much, I might order one for her. Or perhaps I might order a DVD. I know she’d love to see her picture pop up throughout a cartoon!
