Micah Loves Potatoes...

french fried potatoes, baked potatoes, hashed brown potatoes, country fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries, freedom fries, tater tots, potatoes in soup, potatoes and beans, potatoes and chicken, potato, potato, potato!  We think it may be his Russian heritage, but this boy sure loves those potatoes!  But, to be frank, he loves to eat, and eats with gusto a wide variety of fine foods from sushi to tacos.  A foodie in the making; parent modeling at its best!

A born leader...

So we went to our first Music Together class today (parent/baby music & movement class). Highlights included:
->When we arrived, all the other kids were sitting docilely in their parents laps in a circle around a large drum. Micah assessed the situation and beelined for the drum. Within minutes all the other kids had joined him in an impromptu drumming circle.  
->Micah made friends with a nine-month old little girl, and they fed each other their rhythm sticks and used each other's heads as drums.
->Micah displayed his natural sense of rhythm by bobbing his head to the beat and grinning ear to ear throughout class.
