My darling baby

[frualeydis]

Maja is such a musical child. She already knows both melody and most of the text to lots of songs and she always sings along with the music on her Astrid Lindgren films (and others). Today, when I was practicing on my recorder she sang along, though she doesn't know the words of those songs.
It's funny, already when she was four months she had two different voices; her "talking" voice, which was the normal adorable baby "talk" and her "singing" voice which was much higher up on the tonal scale.
I was singing a lot when I was home with her and since I'm a soprano I guess she imitated me. That's how children learn to speak so why shouldn't she learn to sing?

It is no surprise to me at all. I teach piano and voice lessons for a living, and my daughter is the same way. Children learn quite a bit from observing, listening, and osmosis. I don't give my daughter a formal piano lesson every week; rather, once every 8 weeks or so, we sit down, formally go through her method books, and then she basically says, "Go away, mommy, let me do it on my own."

And she's cute as a button while she's doing it too...
