Jonas and I decided to watch the snowfall today. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! All year long, when I've sung songs to Jonas a Christmas song has always come to my mind and now that it is time to start singing them...my mind goes blank! The changing of weather has made Jonas a bit angry. At least that's what I hope it is. He just hasn't seemed as happy, I can never put my finger on what it is, but it's something. :)
Ever since Jonas has been born and I first bore my Testimony in sacrament meeting on his blessing, I have created a bit of a habit bearing my testimony each month. Now that Jonas and I don't go to church I've been missing that chance. So, lucky you!!, I am going to try to write something each post that I am thankful for or am thinking about. (I'll try to keep it short)
Considering Jonas' behavior I have to say that I am thankful for music. Music is the one thing without fail that brings a precious smile to Jonas' face. He can be in the middle of crying and I sing or he hears a familiar tune and instantly he smiles and all is well. He gets transfixed with music and goes to his own world. He smiles and then looks at me as if to say, "do you hear that mommy?!" He listens to all kinds of music and appreciates them all. Miley Cyrus, Ben Folds, Phantom of the Opera, Primary songs, even just instrumental music. What would I do without music?
