This question caught me off guard the other day. Probably because I've never even considered it! Somehow Ava still seems far too little to be thinking about any extra curricular activities and I'm just enjoying these home years. I know all too soon these girlies will be flying the nest, so I'm savouring the fact that right now, in this moment in time, they are perfectly contented to be at home.
Plenty of time for music lessons and dances classes and sports clubs.
But it is fair to say that music has always been a part of our family life. From the girls earliest days, David has played to them on his guitar; little hands reaching out for the strings while Papa strums away!
Our house is always full of singing. We have songs for everything; teeth brushing, cake baking, spring walks, tidying up, eating sandwiches... You name it! We have a good night song, and a get-up song, an Ava song and a Heidi song... Songs for everyone and everything. And now even Ava has begun to invent her own songs... Her favourite English creation at the moment goes like this...
"We're having a merry Christmas Day!
We're having, having, having, having,
a merry, merry Christmas Day!"
Very seasonally fitting, as you can see!
And then there's the piano. My lovely piano. These photos were snapped on Friday as I watched this magic moment unfold. Two little girls having a marvellous time making music together! It was not particularly tuneful, but they are learning all about rhythm and discovering that music is just SO much fun!

ReplyDeleteSo cute. Small hands on the piano keys! Music is amazing my son played his Nain's piano yesterday and I also saw something. He is in awe of the sound the piano is producing and I decided that he needs to explore it. Luckily his Nine will teach them so hurrah!
