Our little musician

When you have a baby, you find yourself thinking about what kind of person they will be and where their interests will like. It's really fascinating to watch Mackenzie grow and to see what her natural talents are. Even at just over two years old, Mike and I have both noticed that she really gravitates towards music.

Thanks to Grammy , Mack has been enrolled in a music class all year. She absolutely loves it. In fact, she knows the days of the week only because she learned that Thursday is music class. She looks forward to it all week long and while she is there, she is fully engaged, mimicking her teachers' ever movement.

She also can pick out different instruments out of songs. She sings on key, can keep time with music by clapping, and makes up her own songs. The other day, she was playing on her piano, going key by key up the scales. Each time she pressed another key, she sang up a note!

This isn't much of a surprise since Mike loves music enough to play the saxophone in the band all the way through college . He also plays a number of other instruments. Grandpa Ralph was also a music lover. I've always been in choir and my mom's whole side of the family is full of people who play various instruments. Mack picked up where we left off! As long as she loves it, we'll find ways for her to expand her interest in it. Here's a picture of her with her "Pinano"
