I laid in bed trying to decide what day it was going to be. All my days seem to be blending together. I desperately needed sleep last night so I let Owen fall asleep in my bed. In the last week he has been falling to sleep in a more peaceful state because of his new found interest to “watch de movie”, but it still takes a while for him to fall asleep. We were introduced to a musician that plays a handpan drum and steel tongue drum and the sounds completely calm Owen. He started calling the drums “snowball” and “waves” and every night he wants to watch the video calling it the “movie”. Music has been a big part of our lives. I have always wanted him to feel how much music can affect our souls. When he was a baby I would hold him in my lap, placing one of his hands on my mouth and one at my throat or heart. I would sing to him, letting him hear and feel the vibrations. We have several small instruments that I encourage him to interact with, working on his fine motor skills and vocabulary, as well. Owen is learning to talk, but there are many letters of the alphabet that he cannot pronounce and depending on where the letter is in the word he will say it differently. Often I will point to my mouth showing him that I want him to speak. Through all of this when I listen to Owen sing in his true voice, not mimicking a character, he has perfect pitch, unlike his momma. We work on his scales to help with enunciating the letters he still has trouble with. It’s amazing to watch him do the scales and he’s a natural at it. I explained to him that he can go up or down octaves and I will use my hand to show him that I want him to move up the scales. He follows along with ease. I’m thankful for his love of music and I’m excited how he is finding the music that he wants to hear. Never give up. Find your inspiration and motivation and your happiness will grow. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
