We would put them in a dress up box and keep it all year round. When they got to big for them we gave the box to some friends for their young grandchild to use when she visited. <BR/>Thanks for visiting my site and your nice comments!

If I can't buy it, and they can't make it, it ain't happen'. A few years ago, Katie wanted to be a ghost. So, naturally we went to the store to see what they had. Well, we live in the south. The deep south. And the ghost costumes at the store had a seam on top of the head. So when you wear it, it looks like a point. And, I was so not sending my child out looking like a klan member...Keys to the Magic Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634829064005032831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087504939336058678.post-20780728128166268702008-10-01T18:13:00.000-06:002008-10-01T18:13:00.000-06:00Hi Jyl!!!Thanks for showing me your cool blog..can...Hi Jyl!!!<BR/>Thanks for showing me your cool blog..can't wait to see the new version too:)<BR/>Good to see you...<BR/>deannaLANCE and DEANNAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172688504193182243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087504939336058678.post-53395670292049475232008-10-01T18:02:00.000-06:002008-10-01T18:02:00.000-06:00this is so precious. my boys ADORED thomas and cre...this is so precious. my boys ADORED thomas and crew for years. thanks for dropping by my blog and for your kind and reassuring words.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07896271627723253157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087504939336058678.post-22050587106299726532008-10-01T17:48:00.000-06:002008-10-01T17:48:00.000-06:00Thanks for your questions. I LOVE questions. :) It...Thanks for your questions. I LOVE questions. :) <BR/><BR/>It is hard at first for the kids to get the coordination down of reading notes, reading rhythm, and playing the piano with their hands all at the same time. So trying to learn the rhythm first with a metronome will help a lot. This is what I would do to help your son:<BR/><BR/>1. Turn on the metronome and show your son that the metronome can go fast or slow and tell your son that the metronome keeps the time (if he already doesn't know.)<BR/><BR/>2. Turn the metronome on to a speed your son can play the piece at. Have your son listen to the clicks and then have your son try to clap with every click. (This will help your son to keep a steady beat) <BR/><BR/>3. Now have your son clap the rhythm of the song he is learning with the metronome. Once your son can clap the rhythm with the metronome then have your son sing the rhythm with the metronome. Make sure when he is singing, that he holds out the notes as long as they should be played for (e.g. half note should be sung for 2 counts, whole note should be sung for 4 counts.) It helps a lot to try only clapping/singing the rhythm a few measures at a time.<BR/><BR/>5. Once your son can sing and clap the rhythm, have your son practice playing the song he is learning on the piano 2 measures at a time. For example, (while the metronome is on) help your son play measures 1-2 until he can play it right. Then measures 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and so on. Then add more measures at a time. Have your son play measures 1-4 and 4-8 and so on until he can play it with out mistakes. Now have your son play the whole song with the metronome on. <BR/><BR/>6. Once your son can play the song with the metronome on with out any mistakes, turn off the metronome and have your son play the song with the metronome off. <BR/><BR/>This usually helps my students because they first isolate the rhythm by clapping and singing, and then once they have learned the rhythm they can put everything else together a lot easier. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps! You can also read my post under music lessons titled Importance of Using a Metronome. I explain in this lesson more about this there. <BR/><BR/>Let me know how he does. :)Munchkins and Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984593709136419924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087504939336058678.post-13163438805570385572008-10-01T17:43:00.000-06:002008-10-01T17:43:00.000-06:00Oh my gosh.
