Sheryl Crow's Son Doesn't Like Her Singing

Originally posted 09/18/2009 12:30PM

Sheryl Crow may have received thunderous applause for her performance with Miley Cyrus at VH1's Divas Live on Thursday, but her 2-year-old son, Wyatt, is fed up with her singing. "I want to sing to him, but right now he's like, 'Mommy, no! All done! All done!' " Crow told PEOPLE at Thursday's event.

That's not to say that Wyatt doesn't appreciate good music. "He's really into kids' music and is listening to a lot of Raffi. I think he thinks if I'm singing that I'm going to work," she says.

Crow, 47, adopted Wyatt when he was two-weeks-old, and last year the singer and her tot traded the glitz of Hollywood for a quieter life in Tennessee.

The 21-month-old has taken to his mom's profession, touring and all, a delighted Crow tells PEOPLE.

"He's very musical," the Grammy winner said in West Hollywood at Thursday's Me&Ro boutique's reception for the book Note to Self, to which she has contributed. "And he has these funny little dances he does. He plays the drums. He gravitates toward the guitar all the time."
