Kira took her first few steps on December 1st...then she focused on standing up by herself...and today she stood up by herself and took a bunch of steps!

Kira's Reaction to the Christmas Tree

Music Together Demo Class

I have been taking Kira to Toddle Tunes for a couple of months now, and she really seems to enjoy it.  But I wanted to try the other two classes that Octavia recommended - Music Together and Rock Stars in Training - too.  So I signed Kira up for a Music Together demo and a Rock Stars in Training demo.  While the Music Together demo was not quite like a real class would be (the instructor spent a lot of time talking about the curriculum rather than demonstrating it the entire time), it was enough for me to see that it is quite different from Toddle Tunes; Music Together seems much mellower.  I can't wait to demo Rock Stars in Training in January!
