Finally, the barrettes stay in!
Enough pictures, I need to run laps around the table!
Anna & I went to our first day of music class this morning. It is a ten-week class that runs over the course of twelve weeks (we have one weekend in January and one weekend in February off). By the time the class is finished, I will be super pregnant and Anna will be two years old!
Anna was really overwhelmed/scared/shy at the start of the class. She basically goes limp and avoids eye contact, gets really super quiet, etc. After each song she'd say to me "go home again" but I kept telling her that we were at music class and that we'd go home when it was finished. She liked it when the teacher brought out balls, but it was Old MacDonald that got her to warm up. We had some puppets to dance around during the song and she cracked smiles when we got to the pig and duck parts of the song. After that she relaxed a bit and seemed to start enjoying herself. She liked listening to the CD of songs on the way home so I am hopeful that it won't take too many weeks to get warmed up to the class. She was particularly pleased with the purple butterfly stamp she got on her hand at the end of class although I'm not sure how she's going to react when it washes off...
Anna's hair is getting so long. It's pretty. It's nice that you have music classes! She loves music!
