Music Class

What happens when you take a 4 month old to a music class? Well, let me tell you! We went to a preview for KinderMusik yesterday. As soon as I got her out of her carseat, she looked around and started to cry. But in all fairness, she fell asleep in the car, and woke up in a strange room with strange people she'd never seen before. We sat on the floor and started playing with another mom and baby. Megan was entranced with Abby - the 8 month old that was crawling around and coming up to her to say hi! Megan hasn't had much interaction with other babies, so it was fun to see her looking at them.

Throughout the class, she varied from laughing, to crying, to sticking out her lower lip in a pout. And it changed back and forth second to second! For example, she really liked "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", but freaked out when the teacher played the xylophone. She made it through about 30 minutes of a 45 min class before she really started to melt down. I think it was a bit overstimulating for her. But I'm pretty sure she'll get used to it.

So, even though it was only a partial success, we signed up for the class. I think she'll like it more each time we go. And it's good for her to interact with other kids. (And it's good for Mommy to interact with other Mommies!)

And it doesn't start for another two weeks, so maybe next time she'll love the whole thing! After all, a lot can change in two weeks for a baby, right?
