Quote of the Day: "Hallelujah Chorus Please?"

This morning, getting the boys buckled into their carseats for the drive to daycare, before I could even get into the driver's seat and start the engine, Kyle requests that we listen to Handel's Messiah in the car: "Hallelujah Chorus Please?"

We listened to it the entire drive, over and over (4 times to be precise). They only want to hear the Hallelujah Chorus segment of the Messiah. They want to know at each part which instrument is playing. They ask: "Oboe Mama?" & "Mommy, its the violins?" And when they are confident that they know the sound they'll announce: "Its bassoon! Yeah, its bassoon!" & "Big chorus, its the chorus!" Kyle, especially, is waaaaay into it. His favorite parts are when the timpani drums play: "Drums. Hear the drums? You hear drums, Mama? Owen, you hear that?-its the drums!" As soon as the Hallelujah Chorus ends, K & O both start asking "Again? More? Again, Hallelujah Chorus please?"
