Our summer weather has been, hmmm.... fickle. The hide and go seek nature of the sun lately has many of us (and many of my plants) confused as to what month it is. And so, since it feels like November my family (me included) have all decided to come down with a winter cold...uh, or summer cold.
Since we all just don't feel like doing anything we have been listening to a lot of soothing music and I thought I would share some of the tunes that have been dancing along the rims of our ears or lingered on our lips for the past few days. Enjoy, and I hope to return to my more normal fashion of posting once this headache quiets down.

Toddler Music Group
Every week the hosting mom selects the music and songs she wants to share and runs about a 30-45 minute class. Most of the moms have attended a Music Together class before and have purchased the CDs from those music classes. As a group we have compiled our favorite songs, made CDs for the moms who attend regularly and now we have our own instruments that we just purchased for the classes. All moms are encouraged to bring any instruments they have to share too. We also do a little dance portion where the children get to dance to the music with scarfs or ribbon sticks. We do a lot of hand gestures and mommy and baby dance interaction.
So far Emory has loved all the songs by Raffi and one Music Together song about an owl in an old Oak tree. He also enjoyes the rhythm sticks. They make him so happy as he shakes them along with the music. The best part for me is I feel like I can enrich my son with such a class on a very minimal budget. We charge just $5 to join the group and that covers the entire year. The profit is used to purchase instruments for each child allowing for everyone to feel like they too can participate in such an enriching activity.
