So, Anne and I were sitting in the basement last week, playing with the girls, and I put a mixed CD of soundtracks on. The volume level was fine until we got to the score from “Goldfinger” which has a quiet beginning, followed by a blare of trumpets. I left the volume up to see how the girls would react. Claire ignored the blare and continued her playing. However, Maddie froze, cocked her head at the speaker, grinned hugely, and signed “More” twice.

 So cool.
