Old School

One of my mom's groups have been talking a lot about the New Kids on the Block getting back together. This got me thinking about all of the "old school" music that I loved back in high school! I added a few to my playlist, just in case you start to feel a bit nostalgic. My kids and I were having fun dancing to the songs as I was listening to them while adding them. Rachie especially loved it. She has always loved music.

Have I told you about her? Before she was born, Jake used to stick his face on my tummy and sing "Twinkle Twinkle" to her all the time. The day she was born, he was holding her and she started to fuss. As I reached out to take her from him, he snuggled her in tighter and started singing it to her. She quieted down immediately and listened while he sang. It made my heart melt. When she was tiny and would be colicky, Steve had a sill song that he made up for her and it never failed to calm her. In church from the time she was about 4 months old, she has always joined in when the hymns were being sung. Granted, it was her own style of singing, but cute and sweet, and kind of cool all the same. Since she could sit up, in addition to singing along, she dances to any music she hears, including cell phones ringing. I think people at church are finally used to seeing her boogieing down in the aisle in the chapel during the more "peppy" hymns. I hope she continues this love of music. It is fun to have someone who shares that love with me!
