The Ride of the Valkyries, for Example

We realized today Logan is an innate fan of classical music. It started with Vivaldi's Four Seasons ("Spring"), then Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, then Bach's Cello Suites. It kept him calm and curious for some time, even during a few diaper changes--something he generally cries about.

Of course tomorrow he might like The White Stripes or Sublime. Iron Maiden he'll have to wait a few years for. No head banging or body slamming allowed in the crib.

Oh, he smiled at us this morning, too. "Hi, Logan," I said in a high pitched voice. And then he looked right at me with big smile. First time. He did it with Rach, too. Very sweet.

I guess love of classical music skips a generation! I knew my delicious grandson had class!!! But he waited to smile until he left NYC. I'll have to talk to him about that!

I am glad he is back with his daddy though. I can imagine how difficult it must be for daddy to have his Logan taken away from him even for a day, let alone four. I miss him and his mommy sooooo much. I can't wait for all of you to visit mid February.

Much love....
