A Lovely Return!

I saw some new faces and some familiar faces for RSF's return to Yorktown.  All of the parents were quite keen to be singing, even if they took a few rounds in some songs to pick up on the words. Each time one of their kids reacted with a clap, a wave, or a sound, I could see the parents' faces lighting up, which in turn got them more engaged in the music. I encouraged them to sing with their kids as much as possible on their own time, emphasizing that the more we repeat these songs, the more the kids will react to them with that same enthusiasm, and pick up on the words and melodies sooner than you think. There was even a grandma in the room, and she was one of the liveliest dancers, especially during 5 Little Monkeys! Can't wait to sing more with this group in the coming weeks.
