Kindermusik starts up again

Saturday was the first day of Kindermusik this term. There were quite a few new people and so during our hello song, Shannon had us introduce ourselves as well as our kids. This was a first. Turns out Maddie’s father, who we’ve seen weekly since September 2005, is named Peter. I tried hard to focus on the other adults’ names but only managed to catch two others – both of kids whose names I already knew. So, three down and nine to go. I doubt I’ll make any progress. Names aren’t my strong suit and introducing myself to people is even less so. Still, it was nice to hear that these other folks have names other than “Maddie’s dad”, etc. All of the Dale Carnegie success story-types will know my name and I’ll just fake it. The title of this class is “Fiddle-dee-dee”, the carrier is a a cardboard dog house, which Reid is enamoured of but won’t last long if we actually use it as a carrier, and her instrument is fiddle sticks. Fiddle sticks are a cross between shakers and rhythm sticks and so they make good noise. We sang a song that requires the kids drop to the ground and roll over like dogs at a few points and a blues version of “This old man”. It is starting off as another fun session. Reid was pretty relaxed, which is nice, as she sometimes finds new people a little challenging and the class has about 10 kids plus parents.

Have a good, snowy (finally!) day.
