Music and Tummy Time
Joanna: Yesterday, Tim watched the babies while I took a little nap. When I came down, he had a beer in his hand and had the babies lying together listening to Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, Op. 48. He was excited, "It's their first classical music outside of the womb!" They both seemed to enjoy it, especially the hemiola in the third movement. Here are the three of them zonked out on the floor.
Tim: The twins first full day at home went well. In addition to classical music, they also watched the Muppet Show with us (Elton John was the guest) and the Ken Burns documentary on WWII. They liked Pyotr Ilyich and Elton a lot more than the Germans. We had a brief conversation debating the matter:
Joanna (hopefully): Maybe the gunshots sound like heartbeats to them!
Tim (dubiously): Maybe...until the explosions happen
Our pediatrician told us to periodically lay the babies on us on their stomachs, to build their upper body strength and to get them to lift their own heads (we sleep them on their backs, of course). It is so funny! They get all crabby looking, like they’re saying: “Ohhh my brain is sooooooo heavy. If my head wasn’t so disproportionally larger than my body, I could do this.”
