Not only is this day mommy's 35th birthday, but also it is a proud mom day! Jonathan started his music box alone. Tied to his pen, Jonathan has a toy, which contains a music box that can be operated by pulling on a string. I was working in the kitchen when I suddenly heard the music start to play. So I came to the living room and watched Jonathan in his pen. It was clear that he was somewhat baffled by the sound, but he stretched his hand towards it and pulled the string again, then listened and then pulled again. It was clear that with each repeated action he was slowly registering a deeper impression that pulling the string results in music. Altogether he did this three times consecutively. He is not yet strong enough to pull the entire string, so the music he creates is not long – hence he is frustrated and looses interest quickly, but the first step has been taken and the learning process has begun…
