Oh, the action around here!
You are right babies should explore music naturally, a teacher directed music class is wrong for children so young. Giving a baby a tambourine and expected them to perform on cue could be detrimental to the child. They should be allowed to explore...
I really enjoyed your post. My husband is a drummer and I am a classically trained vocalist so introducing music to our kids was important. My daughter and I took a baby music and movement class and I even taught one for awhile. I loved the intera...
Thanks, I needed that.
As my Ford cruised through the canyon, it started to rain. My six-year-old son and I were returning home from a birthday party for one of his friends. It had been a sunny afternoon, and then suddenly dark clouds converged. A bold radiance dramati...
I enjoyed your post maybe because I could relate so well. We have a music class in our valley that all the mother's go to and the only ones who really couldn't stand it were me and my sister. The second the teacher said, "happy dog - arr arr (thin...
I love those ideas and will pass them on to my hostess sister! Thank you!
My little Mia at age 4..would sing "Jingle Bells"..."jingle all the way, oh my god to ride in a sleigh"...love your post.
This is a great post! Thank you! I remember being the child who always heard things in my own way (plays into me being a songwriter as an adult, I guess:)
One was The national Anthem. I couldn't ever figure out what the "DAWNSERLY LIGHTS" were.

I loved reading this post today, you made me smile and remember all the cute things my boys would say. :D
Oh my gosh! You've just reminded me of a story about one of my nieces. My husband's brother and his wife are not church-goers, but they took their daughter to a Christmas service and were mingling in the parish hall where there were snacks availab...
My daughter used to sing "Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way, Old Mac Farm it is to ride..."
I remember hearing a sketch by Billy Connolly talking about a hymn he sang at church called Gladly the Cross I bear. For years he thought it wa...

Ditching Baby Music Class (In Tune)
As my Ford cruised through the canyon, it started to rain. My six-year-old son and I were returning home from a birthday party for one of his friends. It had been a sunny afternoon, and then suddenly dark clouds converged. A bold radiance dramatically backlit the clouds. Rain is a rare occurrence in South… Continue

- Do you have a Twitter account? What do you tweet about?
I tweet about my fight with breast cancer and being a brand new mom. I am trying to find more people to follow me so that my story will help spread awareness:

- It has stopped snowing, about 20 degrees. I am getting ready to slide into work. The children should be all cranked up. Two days in the house and today is the Halloween Party day. How is it in Denver, Cold and Scary. Have a great day and a cup of something warm. http://www.examiner.com/x-2016-Parenting--Education-Examiner
