We've had a tough couple of weeks as we lost a dear family member to cancer.  She fought a brave and long fight.  So I will catch up soon.  I did get all of my preschool curriculum on my new blog, so if you're interested in that, check it out (last entry, I'm too much in a hurry to find the link now).

I did want to share one interesting thing.  This past week, I had both my son and my nephew who is 11 months older than Samuel, but in the same grade (K).  They were in the car and Samuel and I have been listening to a Top 40 Classical music CD trying to decide on our next composer.  His favorite on CD 2 is Rossini's William Tell Overture, so he had me play it in the car for Tyler.  Tyler said, "I know this song from XM Kids, but it has words.".  I think that must be a station on XM satellite radio which we don't have (or movies in our car!).  So he starts singing along to the piece played by orchestra only.  On the one hand, maybe this is the only way some kids will be exposed to classical music.  On the other hand, they don't even know it's classical music!
