Did you know that there’s free children’s concerts in Fort Greene Park this summer? It’s a series called Music in the Grove, and it’s every Wednesday morning from 10-11am in the “grove” (the grassy area by the monument). The first concert is this Wednesday, June 23rd. Cameron and I will be there! Here’s the complete schedule for the free summer music series:
Jun 23, 2010 Audra Rox
Jun 30, 2010 The Rozz and Val Show
Jul 7, 2010 Astrograss
Jul 14, 2010 Suzi Shelton
Jul 21, 2010 Rolie Polie Guacamole
Jul 28, 2010 Deedle Deedle Dees
Aug 4, 2010 Bubble do Beatles
Aug 11, 2010 King Pajama
Bring a picnic blanket, some bubbles, and perhaps some musical instruments (egg shakers, anyone?) It should be a fun time. See you there!
This concert series is brought to us by the Fort Greene Park Conservancy. Help support them and make a donation!

There was a discussion on Parents Around the Hill recently about kids’ music and it made me want to post about Cameron’s favorite CD’s. Most of these were given to me by another mom whose child loved them – and with Cameron they were also an instant hit. I also like them because they are classic kids songs which I already know the words to. Here’s what’s on Cameron’s play list:
Playtime Favorites
Playtime Favorites has classics like BINGO, 1 2 buckle my shoe, itsy bitsy spider, hokey pokey, wheels on the bus, and London Bridge, a lot of which are sung by kids (he seems to like hearing the kids voices.)
Silly Favorites
Silly Favorites is similar to the other one, and has more classics – the ants go marching, apples and bananas, do your ears hang low….
Singable Songs for the Very Young
We also have Singable Songs for the Very Young (by raffi) which has Down by the bay, brush your teeth, baa baa black sheep….
Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams
And before naps and bed time Cameron listens to Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams which has all the classic lullabies.
The amazon links have little samples of all the CDs you can listen to.
For a few years now my friend has been trying to get my husband and I to go to the Atlantic Antic, and we’ve never made it. But this year, I think we are going to really try. I bet Cameron will love all the excitement. And the weather is looking good. Check out the Atlantic Antic website to learn more about the festivities.
the Atlantic Antic
Sunday, October 4th, 2009 from 10am to 6pm, rain or shine
Atlantic Avenue from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue

As far as I can tell Tres Leches is basically the song leaders from Music Together doing their own thing. They are having a show today, Friday in Prospect Lefferts Garden. MAP Here’s the info:
The show is at the Maple Street School – 21 Lincoln Rd.
at 4:15-5ish
the cost is $5
Q or B train to Prospect Park, exit Lincoln Rd. (school is directly on right, after exit)
I know Cameron really loves Music Together, so I thought this might be fun for him as well. Maybe we will see you there!

Cameron loves things that make noise when he moves them, so I took an empty water bottle and put some rice in it. It was a winner from the start! If you are concerned about BPA, use one of your baby’s bottles with the top on instead and let them shake shake shake to their heart’s content!
