Edward with Mrs. Walter's his Kindermusik Young Child Teacher

Edward graduated from the Kindermusik program today. I must say I don't regret on bit the time or money we invested in this program for him. I know I hear a lot of parents say it is to expensive and not worth the time. I strongly disagree. You have to invest in your child for their sake, and I feel that this program benefits children in more ways that any parent who hasn't gone through the program can understand. Sometimes I think that even parents who have gone through the program don't fully understand 100% all the benefits that their child(ren) have gained from these classes and experience. If I was musically inclined I would teach these classes myself, that is how strongly I feel about them. I know that this will be something that will go with Edward all through his life. Of course a good teacher is a HUGE plus and we were blessed with great teachers pretty much through out our whole experience with the program.

So Sweet!

Took these last night. Two very tuckered out little people! Need I say more?

We are learning about Astronauts and Space in God's Design Science this month, so I took Edward to the Kansas Cosmosphere for a Mommy and Edward Field Trip. We had a great time. It was the first time we have gone to the Cosmosphere here in Kansas, so it was a lot to take in.
