Hello Kindermusik Friends,
It's about that time! Everyone is getting settled into the fall routine. Hard to believe that "fall" is here already and that summer time has passed so fast!
 I think about the many facets of time often. Many times I've said "Mothers, if anyone, really know about quantum time mechanics! Ten minutes of soothing a crying infant at 3am is eternity and six months of their lives is a BLINK." And as a wonderful Kindermusik educator peer of mine loves to say: "Childhood is a short season." My nephew is starting Kindergarten and my own son has graduated from college and is starting his career, off on his own!
 An especially interesting dimension of time's modern quality is that it seems to go faster and faster while we simultaneously try to cram more and more into each moment. ("And the hurrieder I go the behinder I get!" Yikes!)
Where's the "pause button"?
I've got an idea. There is a pause button of sorts. You find it by being "in the moment" . And I know it happens every Kindermusik class when you are with your child; the one who really does know how to be in the moment. This is the kind of time no one regrets making time for. Your child pulls you into to the moment where sharing the music takes you away from your hurriedness and all your concerns, even if only for the short Kindermusik class time.
What are you waiting for? Have you enrolled yet for fall? The first class is the week of Sept. 12th.
Some things won't wait.
See you in class.
Yvette
