Music is the Heart of Our Soul

Akesha loves music very well. Her favorite past time is to play her instruments. She likes to play her drums and her keyboard. So here's a short clip for yah. Enjoy! Thanks for viewing.

Music is a natural part of life for toddlers. Music contributes to what experts call "a rich sensory environment." Between the ages of 1 and 3, kids respond best to music when they actively experience it. Passive listening (like in the car) is fine, but look for opportunities to get your child rocking, marching, rolling, tapping, clapping, and moving to the beat. If you'd like to introduce an instrument, keep it simple. Very young toddlers will enjoy instruments they can shake — bells, rattles, shakers, tambourines, or rain sticks.

Once your toddler is familiar with music, it can be a source of comfort and soothing. When music is part of the everyday routine, these songs can help your child know what to expect and feel more secure.

I Miss You Hon...Terribly... :(

Being a military wife is one of the hardest role you could imagine. Who would like to be left behind and take charge all the responsibilities at home? Who knows if the President of the US will deploy all the military personnel to IRAQ or send them to a dangerous area somewhere? It will be a devastating experience for me. Greg and I have been married for almost 5 years, and this is the first time we got separated. I am not used not having him around. He's my wind beneath my wings, and without him I can't fly. I know it is hard. This experience is pretty rough for me, and I know I am not the only military wife who feels this way.

Greg has been working in the military for almost 20 years now. I am glad that he is in the Air Force Reserve and not on active duty in the military. Akesha and I miss him terribly. Even though he calls us everyday, but how I wish he's here with us. He is stationed in South Carolina AF Base right now, and will be home after 2 weeks. :( We miss you a lot hon. Take care always, and I love you. We can't wait to see you soon.
