Last week, our amazing little boy went to be with Jesus. It is still nearly impossible to believe, but miraculously it has not shaken our faith. We know without a doubt that God loves us, that God loves you, and especially that God loves Weston.
I am not teaching right now. I love teaching Kindermusik, and Weston loved coming to Kindermusik. I hope one day to return to it, but right now it's too early to do anything. If you are looking for Kindermusik classes, please contact my dear friend, Ursula Purcell.
Ursula has graciously invited all my Kindermusik families to join her for the rest of the semester, without any cost. I hope that you will all take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Ursula is a great teacher and a very compassionate person. I think that this could be a very healing, encouraging time for you and your child. I hope you will participate. Kindermusik has always given such joy to Weston and me.
I will be back in touch periodically, though I'm not sure exactly when. You can read about our family and our journey through my husband's blog at claytonguiltner.wordpress.com, where we continue to make daily postings. We would love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Erin Guiltner

This book goes right along with several of our Our Time Kindermusik activities this semester. It features a little boy and his dad using all kinds of tools all around the house. Read the book, and then follow it with the rhyme/bounce "A House for Me," or listening to the hammer and saw sounds.
This semester's Kindermusik Our Time unit, Milk and Cookies, has inspired Weston and me to make some cookies of our own. He loves to "measure and pour" and "stir it up", just like in the Cookies book. These are some pictures of Weston cooking with Nanny this summer making Chocolate Chip cookies. This week he and I made some No Bake Oat Fudge Cookies, which we thoroughly enjoyed eating too!
Baking with a toddler is definitely a different process, but I encourage you to give it a try. We have a lot of fun. The key is keeping it simple and quick! There is so much to be learned from a simple cooking project-- math skills, eye-hand coordination, and cooperation to name a few. Plus, you get to eat the results! Learning doesn't get any better than that.
