DVD players and singing

I don't know what is wrong with our family but for some reason we can never seem to keep a working dvd player. Is it perhaps that I wasn't taking proper care and using a special lens cleaning disk? Who knows? My car dvd players starting breaking down about three months ago. I bought the lens cleaning kit and got another month out of them but alas, they are now dead, with no way to resurrect them. I have had problems with our home dvd players too. I think the one in our living room has actually been broken down for over a year. It is a software problem as we had bough a dvd player that could also record television and work like a dvr where it searched for programs itself. This dvd player has given us problems from the beginning, poor quality, what can we do?

When we were having problems with our living room dvd player we bought a dvd player for our bedroom since we seemed to use it more in there. Recently this dvd player has been giving us problems too thanks to our cute little three year old who constantly loved opening and closing the disk drawer and putting dvd's in it herself. So now the door gets stuck often! Hubby showed me a trick last night to get it to release so hopefully that will continue working.

Since all of this dvd trouble we have changed out lives to listening to much more music. KK has been thrilled and requests her favorite songs over and over again. Her two favorite songs are "Kung Foo Fighting" and Hukkuna Mattata." She sings them even when they are not playing. It is so cute.

So I made a decision not to replace our car dvd player since music is such a better choice. The girls are older now so it should be easier to occupy them. I spent the entire night on Saturday making 5 different cd's of children's music for the girls. I am sure they will be thrilled to listen to some new music. I look forward to hearing KK walking through the house singing some new songs she learns to love!
