My 4 yr old dd has been looking forward to her birthday party in gan for as long as I can remember. She has been talking about every little detail involved and we were BREATHING and LIVING her birthday party (can anyone relate lol?? Smile

)

Anyway, her morah called me last week to tell me that she hasn't been able to get ahold of her rav to ask about having music by the party during sefira. I use the same birthday cd as her and I know what a difference it makes to do it without music...anyway, she said that because she doesn't have an answer, she is going to do it without music. I was pretty disappointed and I also felt that it was a little unfair, because all the rabanim that I know of hold that you can play music for kids, especially in a gan (in my gan, we do). But, ok. I couldn't really argue with her.

The party was on Monday...and it was such a disappointment. The morah was hoarse, the kids were going crazy and were completely unmotivated, not really listening or participating...uch.

I don't think my daughter really cared too much - she had been prepared that there would be no musica nd she loved being the center of attention, so I was just trying to be positive for her sake. But I am stilll SO disappointed because it was really a very schvach party... Sad
