Last night I took Liam to the yoga studio where I used to teach for a kirtan, - call and response chanting of yoga mantras with music (harmonium, drums, guitar). He told me that he thoroughly enjoyed his Krishna Das concert last summer while he was in my belly, so I was sure he'd love this, too! Even though it was a late night for him, he was into it! He loved looking around at the people sitting in a circle singing with their eyes closed; he even participated with his own version of the chants, too! Once the music started his eyes were fixed on Jamie, and he repeatedly reached out his arms toward him. As he rolled around he smacked his palm on the floor like a bongo drum, often in time with the music! AND, he came the closest he has so far to crawling- the closest you can come, I'd say. Up on all fours, rocking back and forth, even lunging forward (and falling down). I thought it would make for a great story if he did crawl for the first time during a kirtan, but oh, well. I'm just happy he experienced it and enjoyed it.
