Benjamin Boogies to Beethoven & Bach

His daddy hates a lot of Beethoven, but Ben? Ben’s lovin’ the stuff. He’s already a rebel.

I decided to give Ben a little music this morning, since he’s supposed to be able to hear a bit at this stage. I wasn’t really expecting anything but I figured it wouldn’t hurt.

I popped my earphones on my belly (at 50% volume) and found my 100 Classical Masterpieces album on the iPod. It started with Eric’s favorite piece, “Sheeps May Safely Graze” by Bach. And Ben MOVED! Not a lot, but he definitely moved. I followed it with Beethoven’s 9th and he began going nuts. He was flopping all around my belly. I followed it with another Beethoven piece, to which he went crazy, too. He didn’t much care for Carmen. I went back to Bach, to which he moved lightly again, then back to Beethoven, to which he went nuts with. I think I know which he prefers.

I also played a little Sigur Ros for him but I think, since it was all in high tones, he had a hard time hearing it. He didn’t move much. I’d love to try a little Aphex Twin with him but I’m worried I’m going to scare the poor baby.

I’ll stick to classical for now. Beethoven. He seems to like that.
