Music Class and Mom Guilt

Wednesday mornings are Jackson's second favorite day of the week.  Let's be honest though.  When you're Jackson, every day has to be pretty great.  Playdates, music class, school, church, daddy, children's museums, parks, etc.  He's living the toddler life.  But this kid looooves music class!  When we were going to Cradle Talk Caryn, the music teacher, came to promote her MusikGarten.  She did a little sample of what would be done in class and JJ was so amused!  Even at seven months.  We have been going to music classes ever since.  It's especially fun (and expensive) now because Charley is now a class participant too!  She's her usual self.  Totally serious with massive cheeks.  Here's a peek into our class.

 

JJ running around with his friends before class.  They hadn't seen each other in a couple weeks and were ecstatic.  And loud.

Charley's favorite part is eating the shakers.

Or the scarves.

Peek-a-boo!

Jackson too.  This was the activity that sold him way back when.
 

He still hasn't tired of it.

Just drummin'

Getting instructions from Miss Caryn.

I am hoping to go back to teaching in the fall and this is one of the activities I will be so sad that we can't participate in anymore.  I get really sad about it and have to remind myself that the kids will still be fine if they haven't had weekly music classes their whole lives.  Oh, mom guilt.  Get away from me!
