Music Together September 23, 2009
Next week will start Anna’s first class at Music Together. It is an international music program for babies and toddlers.
Apparently, it was developed at Princeton. Pretty much, I expect it to make Anna into a musical genius. just kidding. It is basically something for her to get engaged in and have a group to attend. It will be something fun for us to do together. We went to a sample class and she was going crazy. Dancing, running around the room and laughing. It will be a good activity for us and something different to get us out of the house.

“Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.”
Anna is almost walking February 13, 2009
Geez what a year it has been. One year ago I was STILL in the hospital. I got “out” on Valentines day, but still spent an additional 5 weeks at home on bed rest. It all seems so long ago and like a weird dream.
Anna is now almost 11 months old and is actually fast on her way to walking. She took 3 steps today on her own!! It is crazy how fast they develop and change before your eyes.
We just got back from a trip back to St. louis to visit family. Traveling with a 10 month old isn’t easy. It is hard to hold them in a confined space for that long. (Especially because their attention spans are like 1-2 min. ) I dont’ plan on traveling anywhere again for at least a few more months.

Just wanted to give a plug to my friend Tyler from Portland, OR. He is a terrific song writer and has a new CD out. Here is a link to his site where you can listen to and buy his music. One of my favorite songs is “better be us all”. Check it out.
