It’s been a busy day for Jack. This morning Jack and I hit the Trinity Trails with daddy (Coach of enduraLAB) for a nice little 5k run. Then we headed to Pilates at Dancescape for a little mat Pilates. Then it was time for his first day of school!

You may be asking yourself…”isn’t Jack only 11weeks old.” You are correct! I enrolled Jack in an Early Childhood Music class at TCU. Doing this class with Jack is near and dear to my heart as I studied music from 5th grade all the way through college (minored in music). Another question you might benasking is…”isn’t Jack too young to be learning music?” You would be incorrect and here is why:
Generally, we have learned that children from birth to approximately age six do not express music like adults. Early childhood, a period of rapid change and development, is the most critical period in a child’s musical growth and has been identified in the literature as the “music babble” stage (Moog, 1976; Gordon, 1988) or primary music development (Levinowitz and Guilmartin, 1989, 1992, 1996). Even the youngest infant is wired to receive music and discriminate among differences in frequency, melody, and stimuli (Bridger, 1961; Trehub et al, 1990; Standley and Madsen, 1990; Zentner and Kagan, 1996).

Our first class was so much fun! We sang, we danced and then he fell asleep.
Jack was having so much fun, he passed out right before class ended.
I have a feeling Jack is going to sleep very well tonight!
