Beethoven

Dawson really enjoys Beethoven's music. He first heard it on one of his computer games and showed a particular interest in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. A couple of months ago when we were watching America's Funniest Home Videos, they had a segment on messy kids, which was accompanied by Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Dawson immediately recognized it and shouted excitedly, "Beethoven" And this past weekend when we were at Target we passed by a music station playing a sample of a Beethoven CD. I didn't really notice it at all, but Dawson did as he told me "that's Beethoven."

Dawson also does a good job of identifying musical instruments that he hears. We'll be driving in the car with the radio on and he'll say, "that's a trumpet" or "that's a tuba." I'm not musically inclined at all so I have to check with Randy to see if he's correct. He's not yet 3 and he already knows a lot more about music than I do!
