music class today

We've now attended our 3rd "Music Together" class... on Fridays at 10:15 for 45 minutes.. we go with Tiffany/Panos and about 6 other kid/parent/grandparents. We usually go to the park first, then class, then the park, then lunch... today we didn't wake up until 9am.. so we missed the park.. which was bad.. Zoe spent the whole class asking to go to the park.

But really, she loves the class.. almost every other kid sits on mom's lap the whole time.. not Zoe.. she is running around, dancing, all to the beat of her own drum. She loves the maracas and can't wait until instrument time (a box full of toys is layed out, they just jam to the music with anything they want). Zoe spends her time handing toys to the younger kids (people do this class with kids as early as 3 months, but I think the youngest in our class is probably 10 months). It is a great class, but I don't think I'd really worry about doing it with a kid younger than Zoe.

All in all, she is very well socialized (for not doing day care, etc.)

Today, unfortunately, although she was having so much fun at the park, she cut across Panos' path when he was on the swing, got bowled over (hit in the ear) and fell to the ground.. she was inconsolable for a long while.. it really hurt her.. We went back to Panos' house for more play, lunch, etc.. but there was another bonk (Panos hug, knocked over) and that ended out play time. We are now at home and she is now sleeping.
