This is a precious soul.
I admire that she is caring, compassionate, strong willed, and decisive.
I'm celebrating my daughter - Anna - today.
It is her eleventh birthday, and looking back on her other birthdays it sound so cliche, but I wonder where the time has gone.
When did she start sharing my shoes? Riding in the front seat? Forming definite opinions about everything??
We've been delving into some fun projects this summer. One of them has been listening to The Sorcerer's Apprentice - another great CD from Maestro Classics.
This story has always been a favorite... we have read the book and seen the clip from Fantasia as well. What I appreciated about the Maestro Classics version, however, was the knowledge we received of the composer, Paul Dukas.
{I never knew that Paul Dukas was such a perfectionist that he BURNED most of his music, thinking it wasn't good enough... so the music from The Sorcerer's Apprentice is really all that survived of his compositions.}
