Music and gratitude

Lately it's really struck me how much of everything we have exposed Harper to she is suddenly becoming aware of, as if everything in the last almost three years is now all suddenly being absorbed and understood. So of course the first thing I realized we need to do IMMEDIATELY is start our music education program. And by that I mean we have to make sure she knows The Beatles are the foundation and source of all rock music and she has to LOVE them. We'll minor in Elvis Costello, throw in some Stones when she's ready, but make sure she knows her foundation before moving forward. And of course we'll concurrently expose her to Miles and Coltrane and if she does us wrong and has terrible taste in music at least we can't BLAME OURSELVES.

I suppose there are some other important things in life other than music, so I thought today we should start thinking of five things we are grateful for each day.

Me: Harper what are you grateful for?

Harper: Crayons. Books. Mommy, daddy & Clyde. And I love myself.

Me: That's really great. That's a great list.

Harper: And I love shoes. And cars.

I would have preferred shoes and cars at the top of the list, but what can you do.
