My youngest was singing a song from High School Musical this morning. I think it's so cute that she even knows the song, but what was great was that the song has a male and a female part and she changed the pitch of her voice to mimic the difference. She did it really well! It was so sweet.
My kids got a karaoke machine for Christmas this year from some friends of ours. They love playing with it and they're all such good singers. They really amaze me with the quality of their voices at such young ages. It's fun to listen to them parrot some of these songs that they have come to know so well. I also love hearing them belt it out as we drive together in the van. The youngest in particular cracks me up when she puts her heart into one particular song and sings as loud as she can. I guess what touches me is that they're all so young, but they feel so deeply and they love the music so much that they have to sing along and they do it so well.
Our family has an odd tradition of dancing to music that plays with movie credits. After watching a movie together, we all usually jump up and start dancing together. The kids love it and I have a great time holding hands with my kids, spinning around in circles, and watching their faces light up as they laugh. Music has been a big part of my life since I was a kid and it's so fulfilling to see it playing a role in the lives of another generation.
