We had a lovely weekend with Daniel carted off to Granny on Friday night and friends over for supper last night.
I felt really, really guilty for sending him to my Mom, but we desperately needed a night to ourselves. He had a great night, he probably also needed a break from us!
Today was the usual family lunch and this evening we had some nice playtime. Ever try to get 3 toddlers to play with a pile of blocks? CHAOS!
I then decided to switch on the TV and was channel surfing and came across a classical music concert on Kyknet. The kids were all running around like headless chickens and the minute the music started they gravitated towards the TV and were so quiet. It was amazing. We often play music in the house, but not as much classical as we used to, but we will definitely play more as the effect was awesome!
I often marvel at the effect of classical music. Since I stopped switching on the TV at night and putting on the classical tunes I can see the transition in my kids. Joel no longer wakes up at night and goes to bed easier and the quality of homework that Joshua produces has improved by at least 70%..
Classical music rocks…

wonderful
I need to get some more classical music… Pronto :)!!!
I always felt guilty dropping Shaun off at PIL, but sometimes we and he needs it. He is more loving when we pick him up (it is good to miss each other sometimes).
may your week be wonderful!!!
We always used to have classical music or old, classic jazz going on Sunday mornings. We must get back to it, thanks for the reminder.
Sounds like a fun weekend!
