The Sound of Musik

One of the many wonderful things about having young children in your life is getting to watch all of your old favorite moves from childhood through their eyes. They boys have recently discovered The Sound of Music, and they LOVE it. David's favorite scene is The Lonely Goatherd puppet show. And My Favorite Things. And Do Re Me. And So Long, Farewell ;) And Michael, especially loves the part when the captain whistles out each of the children's call and has them state their names. If you think it's because Michael digs discipline, you couldn't be more wrong. If you think it's because Cpt. VonTrapp's whistle "sounds just like a choo choo train" to Michael, then you would be right on ;)

Michael has also started taking Kindermusik classes on Mondays. On the first day of class, the teacher let the kids mingle and play for the first few minutes of class and then brought the kids into a circle and began her initial greeting to the class. "So glad to see you all here! I remember when I used to..." It's at this point that Michael excitedly interrupts. "Th Th Th Th Th," he stutters in his rush to get his voice heard, "These used to be my ears," he blurts out, grabbing one of his ears. Michael, welcome to class. Class, welcome to my Michael ;)
