Music Musings

This morning in the car we were listening to classical music while we dropped Clara off at school and went to Leona's final speech evaluation- she no longer qualifies for speech YEAH!!! Leona had some very interesting comments to make about the music.  She was really into it.

At first she told me that this music was her favorite and then after a pause we had the following conversation.

L: This is where the girls come out.
Me: What do you mean?
L: This is where the girls come out to do the dancing.
Me: Oh, I see.  What kind of dancing are they doing?
L: Dancing
Me: Do you think they would be doing fast dancing or slow dancing?
L: Fast
Me: Do you think they would be doing smooth dancing or crazy dancing?
L: Fast. No smooth dancing.
Me: What kind of clothes would they be wearing?
L: Dresses.
Me: Oh really, what color?
L: (Pauses) Purple

After we came out of the evaluation there was a more intense piece of music on and Leona told me that the song was "mad and scary". She also told me that the dancers of a third piece were wearing blue.  It's so fun to get a glimpse into what she's thinking and what her personality is like.  She is clearly moved by beauty in many forms.  It's fun to see this at such a young age.

Magical February ❤️💙💜💛💚

Leona knows that her birthday is in February and she is obsessed with it. She seems to be envisioning February as a magical place. She keeps telling me that she wants to go to February. In the car the other day I heard her tell Clara, "I want to go to February. There are toys there." Which is kind of true for her.
