Ian's current fav: Peter and the Wolf

Ian has taken a liking to watching a particular Elmo CD on Peter and the Wolf. He'll want to watch it every morning after his milk. And he likes me to sit with him and have a "conversation" about it.

Interestingly my father-in-law bought it because Ian grabbed it at the T3 toy shop. I only found out it's Peter and the Wolf later.

I studied Peter and the Wolf during music lessons in secondary school. At that time my classmates and I complained about having to learn a classical piece. Shouldn't we be singing during music class instead of learning about musical instruments?

Looking back now, I think it's quite a good thing my son is learning about music and new words through Elmo. This Elmo CD has funny jokes which Ian doesn't understand yet but I laugh heartily to. Am going to see if I can buy him more of such cds.
