A musical experience amidst the renovations

They say that music is beneficial for a baby's development. As I have no music background, I didn't know what to play for him. A friend, also named Jonathan, said there is a Mozart for Baby CD. He wanted to buy and send it us in Miri, but couldn't find it. So he nicely bought a classical music CD for Jon. When I went back to Singapore, I couldn't find it either...

Then like an answered prayer, Margaret's presents from HK contained the whole Baby Einstein series of music, language, etc DVDs. We didn't realise they are DVDs, not CDs, haha!

My cousin Jenny gave J Dr Miriam Stoppard's Baby Talking. It has a book to teach you how to read to your baby and a Sing-along CD containing nursery rhymes, classical music, music to wake up to, hush music and music to sleep to. In the mornings, I will play the wake-up music, then the classicals. Jon likes the 1920s jazz pieces and will kick his legs energetically to the music. In the afternoons, we will listen to the nursery rhymes and songs. Then at night, I will play the soothing pieces.

Jon likes the music, which is good the home has been undergoing extension work and renovations for the last 3 months. And for the past month, Jon and I have been in our bedroom (reminds me of confinement month!).

Extensions to the living room and master bedroom (upstairs), and a new perimeter wall & fence

A new extrance

A patio...yay, we can have breezy breakfasts or lunches outside in future!
