Oh What Busy Days!

Great book!

10,000 hours.  According to Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers, it takes 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery at almost anything.  Bill Gates grew up right next to University of Washington computer lab, and by sneaking out of his house nightly to practice for years, he certainly achieved mastery.  The Beatles got their 10,000 hours of practice in Hamburg, entertaining at least 8 hours a day in a hole-in-the-wall club.

Our Kindermusik Babies are well on their way to mastery!  In class they are exposed to the music, and they get to bring the learning home with the CD, toys, and books included in the home materials.  These babies in Busy Days Village classes will surely hit that magic 10,000 hours number when they and their parents while having fun with all the stories and songs.

Riding in a buggy, baby mine, baby mine!  Riding in a buggy looking oh so fine!  Obviously Miss Lindsay shows us even a simple laundry basket makes a GREAT buggy.

Not only did these babies love the traditional rocking time (that is STILL my favorite time in class with my "baby," and she's six years old), but they got to swing in our homemade Kindermusik swing- the parachute.  All the babies tried it, and most bravely made it all the way through the swinging, swinging song.  Note to Miss Lindsay and all teachers- start the swinging with the babies in the happiest mood!
