I have been turning this around in my head since the day I read this and have had to hold off on commenting. I mean no offense towards anyone who listens and loves, but I personally am not a fan.

I’m going to blog about this, at some point soon.

Sarah was known at the Cleveland Clinic as the girl with the best music bag. From the first heart surgery when we realized it was going to be a longer stay than they originally projected, I made a hot pink cordoray draw string bag with her name on it and filled it with every cassette tape I could find in the children’s section. To this day, my husband and I will launch into a Raffi, or Sharon, Lois and Bram song (don’t forget this was the late 80′s) when something reminds us of those days. I will have to check this blog out.

The reason I really stopped by to leave this rambling message is to make sure you have followed Sarah’s blog this week. I had it “in the can” knowing I was going to be really busy this week when you started to write about your mom and her ballet studio and Sophie and her dance recital. I have to tell you I sat and cried as I watched her on that stage, happy tears of course, because I knew as soon as I saw it that you get it. My point. Exactly.

I started this series because of an article that was in People magazine a few weeks ago. It was about a ballet teacher in Boston and a physical therapist who decided it would be great to have a ballet class for kids with Ds. And there they were smiling for the camera. I certainly don’t want to be critical of the teacher or the PT or the families that are participating so I did not mention it on our blog, but I thought NO, NO, NO. That’s not it. Yes, they need to be dancing but with other kids from their neighborhood. Not just each other. You get that. I hope others will too.

It’s a taste from his (mother’s) church. He’s outgrown kids’ music, of course.

Maybe I’ll send you my mix someday; it’s about the mystery of moving on to the other side, kicking the bucket, being six feet under.

My wife met a well-known famous kids music composer at an early childhood conference. He had been a principal in a 60s rock group. Paul Revere & the Raiders? Shepherd probably knows who this fellow is.

Interesting stuff here lately, BTW.
