Don't know where to begin... Forget everything?

Well it's been over a week since I left New Hampshire and my training compatriots.  We were advised to, "Forget Everything...And see what comes up...That's the real stuff."   Easier said than done.   I have been so excited about all the knowledge that I was exposed to.  I just don't know where to start.  I have about 6 books for my course work....sometimes I just carry them all around with me in a school bag hoping I will get a chance to at least read a page out of one of them during the day.  How pathetic is that :-)   I was going through the Elersick Finger Games Book....It is so much nicer to have a human teach you those games that to have to sit there and figure them out yourself!   I did practice the ones we learned on my little boy...even though he is almost 5 years old...He absolutely loved them...He even asks for them.  The ones I do for him are

• Ma Ma Mow...
• The Moon is Round
• A little Bird sits in a Tree

He just gets so still and loves them.  I feel the love radiating from my fingertips to him.   In the Introduction in the Elersick book it mentions using some of these Caress Games with older children...It says that they might like the games as a one-on-one...but when they have an audience they might tease about them and think them too childish.    I find truth in this...I tried to do Ma Ma Mow on Curt's toes in front of my mother and he said ," Sshhh. It's a secret."   So sweet...now we can share this special time just between us.

Then I am knitting a sweater for Curt and I still want to learn to play the penny whistle before the Summer is through...oh and make some felted creatures as well.   But I just wonder where does the time go?    At least I did transfer all the material given to us on CD-rom to my Google Documents online...That way they are accessible.....I suppose I could also send them all to my Kindle for easy access.  Just mulling over information options.   Meanwhile I think I will continue to knit and garden (lots and lots and lots of cherry tomatoes and baby squash....)  and read......
