This list was originally the Top 10 reasons, but I just HAD to expand it-then I expanded it again!!!
25. Being able to integrate the experiences that I have had as a pediatric physical therapist with my passion for music while playing all day long with ADORABLE children...and calling it a job!
24. Meeting so many wonderful, dedicated parents who appreciate the roll that music can play throughout their child's life- and calling them my friends!
23. Watching a little baby who was just hanging out in her big sister's class, dancing in her carseat to the music!
22. Getting a card from a preschooler that says "I love you and I love music class!"
21. Seeing a little monkey fall asleep with his head in his mother's lap after a class filled with excitement and fun!
20. Watching little ones spring into action when the "Clean Up" song starts and hearing moms wonder aloud..."Why won't he clean up like that at home???"
19. Watching everybody's face light up when we sing the first notes of our "Hello Song"!
18. Seeing the pride of a little one who is showing off a new skill for the first time in front of his friends!
17. Seeing a room full of little eyes on me when it's time for "1,2,3...lights off!"
16. Watching the Mommies as they cuddle with their babies during rocking time, (like there's nobody else in the room but the two of them)...
15. Learning valuable lessons about being a mom from the experiences of other mothers...
14. Cleaning up the goldfish cracker crumbs smooshed into the carpet after a big party and thinking...wow! Everyone really did have a good time!
13. Thinking how incredibly cute all of our little frogs, dinosaurs, ducks, flamingos and kangaroos (and so many more!) looked at Halloween, and then giggling to think about how much our kids are going to hate us when we show these pictures to their first girlfriends/boyfriends!
12. Hearing great big belly laughs from little bitty people as they dance in their Mommy's arms!
11. Seeing my toddler walk up to me at home with a book in his hands and knowing without looking that it is either the "Boom Pa Pa" or "Hickory Dickory" books- his FAVORITES!
10. Seeing a toddler clap in delight for himself after he has successfully named every one of his friends in class!
9. Watching a baby stand up for the FIRST time, all by herself- and then get a round of applause for a job well done from a room full of friends!

7. Seeing looks of wonder as I open my purple suitcase...(what could be inside???)
6. Hearing stories about children bursting out into choruses of "Ram Sam Sam" or "La La" at home (even the quiet ones in class!)
5. Riding in the car with a cranky toddler who immediately calms when he hears the first note of "Let's sing hello, hello"!
4. Hearing little voices singing along to the music of songs they have grown to love!
3. Listening to stories of Mom's who need to share a laugh, to vent frustration, to ask a question, or to just be reassured that they are doing a GREAT job in this adventure we call motherhood!
2. Hearing a little one's voice say my name, "Miss Be-hee" AND
1. Watching tiny children, just learning to move, to vocalize, to interact with their world, blossom into walking (running!), talking (singing!), social butterflies over the course of a few months!
