We want the show!
Avid readers of Quinn's blog will remember that we got Quinn enjoying "The Blues Brothers", and now keep the soundtrack in the car, so that we can put on "Shake a Tail Feather" or "Minnie The Moocher" or "Rawhide" at a moment's notice. She now sings along with "Shake A Tail Feather" with the "aaaaaaahhhhhh!" at the appropriate part.
So today, when Quinn and I came home, after letting Mama got to the library, she was sitting at her little table. I was putting away the groceries, and Quinn was saying "We wan a show. We wan a show.", echoing the chant of the crowd at the Palace Hotel Ballroom in the movie. "Quinn, do you want to watch music?" I asked. "Yeah!" she squealed, and hurried to the TV. So we watched a couple of songs, danced in the living room, and then it was time for bed.

Hi, longtime reader but don't know that I've ever commented before. It's so cool that Quinn is so enthralled and excited by music! I highly recommend this book Arts With the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0871205149/qid=1079027291/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/104-9065967-2021568?v=glance&s=books&n=507846. It really shows how crucial it is for a kid to learn particular concepts at a certain age. Be sure to encourage her, she's already had the best start she can - but this book will help you nurture her musical qualities.

"Avid readers of Quinn's blog."I guess that's me. :)You know, Quinn's lucky to have parents who love children as much as you two obviously do.
