Waldorf Wednesday: Kinder Lyre Part 2, Creating Rhythm


As I posted last week, we have been slowly integrating the kinder lyre into our daily lives.  When we first received it, I thought we would be waking Narina up with the lyre singing our morning song.  I thought we would use it to summon the family to meals, and then again to put her to bed.  Well Narina wakes up five minutes before the alarm goes off so that didn’t work.  The family meals?  Yeah, we didn’t even try that one. Finally to go to sleep... I think this will work in the future but at the moment Narina is too excited about the lyre and wants to touch it herself.  So after bath time and before we go upstairs, Narina has a breastfeed.  The fire is lit, the lights are dim, and Dan plays they lyre for a few minutes while Narina feeds.  Our evenings have become so sacred and this aspect of them has only enhanced that.
