Music Makes the World Go Round




Paxton had another Kindermusik class this morning. This was his second time going to this interactive music class. The nice thing was that Scott was able to join them today. Susanne was interested to see if he thought this would be a good addition to Paxton's repertoire of appointments or not.

Once they got inside, it was nice to see some familiar faces. The same six children were present for this class that were present for the last class. The theme for the summer classes was "Creatures of the Ocean". With today's class, there were various songs that they sang, different instruments that they played, a huge parachute to bounce a beach ball around on, and sign language that they learned. They also had storytime and special time for cuddling to help wind everyone down at the end. This just happened to be Susanne's favorite part. She sure loved her snuggle time with the bug.

Scott seemed to enjoy himself. He could see the excitement in Paxton's eyes watching all of the children move about and make noise. He also could see that Paxton responded so well to the singing and music. With Paxton's facial expressions alone, they both knew that he was benefitting from this type of interaction and socialization. They were going to seriously consider signing him up for the fall classes.
