Front of the Class

Remember the kids in school who always had to sit in the front row, right in front of the teacher? Well, that will be Abby! Connor and Abby have both been going to a class called Musical Munchkins since they were 6 months old. The teacher plays the guitar and sings and the kids clap, play instruments, and move to music. It is so much fun. Abby just loves this class! When we pull up in the car, she starts kicking her feet and saying, "Yeah, music class!" When we go in we sit on the rug in a semi circle. I try to sit on the edge closest to the teacher but sometimes we have to sit somewhere else in the circle. I guess it doesn't really matter because Abby goes and plops down right in front of the teacher. It is hilarious! When the teacher starts playing the guitar she gets so happy. The best part is the song the teacher plays where the kids have to do different things like clap and pat their knees until she stops the music. Abby loves the part of the song where they stand up and bounce their knees. I swear it is the cutest thing you have ever seen. She bounces so enthusiastically. I laugh every time! Bouncing is followed by spinning and swaying which she also loves and does so excitedly that she falls frequently. Of course she also has to help Miss Cindy with the song by "singing" along and loves the part when she can yell "stop." Honestly I can not really describe the cuteness involved.

Connor also loves music class. I have so many fond memories of taking him when he was so little. I can't believe that now he goes in without me. It has obviously made a big impression on him because he loves plaing with musical instruments. We spend alot of time playing band at home. He passes out the instruments to everyone and then we march around the house. Abby loves this too of course. His preschool teacher says he is always starting a band at preschool too. I miss going to music with Connor but luckily I get to go in and watch a little bit of his class at the end of each "semester." And guess what? Abby has to go sit right next to her brother!
