Today we are sitting here together, me with my laptop and A in his crib, playing with his puzzle and stacky listening to Latin music! He is beginning to bop around, duck his head and point to the computer as the music plays. He loves it. I love it! This is such a great way for him to learn about being in his crib, by himself independently while I check email, listen to voice mails, make calls, and get stupid stuff done!
Music is essential to my spirit! I have been in love with music for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my parents playing the Beatles, and my mother singing poorly out or tune to me as she fed me spinach (yes, I remember this). I now sing poorly out of tune (but not while I'm feeding him)... It's okay, he doesn't mind my voice, he laughs at me. Right now in this moment, Now, he smiles at me. I watch him as the music changes to a new song, he notices it! WOW. I love that.
Yesterday we listened to French music, which he actually sang with; I think the Latin music may be too fast for him... tomorrow we will try Indian music. Listening to music is a must, and it's so easy with ITunes... and all the stations, thank you Jobs!
Oh, what a beautiful moment, have you had yours today?
