Singing

Matthias is humming and singing away while he washes dishes! I love it when my kids are happy while they work (okay, it took him almost an hour to stop procrastinating and wash... but now he's really happy!).
Carrie Ann brought her her "There's a Spider on the Floor" board book yesterday morning and started singing -- "pida fow" -- in other words, "Mommy, sing the "Spider on the Floor" song with me!" When she wants to eat, she climbs in her chair ("Zit, zit!") then holds out her hands and starts humming -- "For health and strength..."
We have been teaching the kids to play the harmony line for one of our rounds on their melodicas (a blow-in keyboard). Bethany picked it up really well! (ccccffggccccfgc.... not too complicated, but she's only 5!)
This picture is from about a year ago, but you can see what a melodica is.
