bw, you know my grandson has had music in his life from Day One. It has become evident that he also inherited some musical "talents" or abilities. I think it is no small thing that at about 2.5-3 he was able to sing a separate song while I was singing another one to him.(Still is.) He did this on his own, unprompted, thinking it was funny to do so to "mama." He also seems to be advanced with his language skills. It seems everyday something he says or I say or his mom or whoever, brings to mind some song we will sing OR we make up a song about whatever we are doing or talking about. Rhyming while doing so is already showing up in his very early reading skills. He is making up songs almost daily and eagerly grabs the ukelele or my dulcimer, with permission, to strum a bit and act out what he sees musicians doing.

Not much as it's just anecdotal, but it's fun to catch you up, anyway. Oh, and I love the reasoning behind Simply Beautiful which IS simply beautiful and Morgan loves it!
