This morning was one of those mornings I hope that will just stay in my brain forever. Unfortunately, I have a terrible memory, so I’m writing this down, in the hopes it will help me to never forget.
This morning, 3 members of the family were gone (to school, camp, work, or other) and I was relaxing at the piano. This is often what I do to unwind from the stresses of the day. This morning I wasn’t playing anything in particular, in fact, I was just improvising all over the place. My 5 year old came over to the piano, and in the cutest little sing-songy voice, began to sing to my accompaniment. I couldn’t tell you any of the words because they were things like, “My mom is the nicest mom ever,… what is that on the wall? I love my stuffed animals, etc.” It was just so cute. That would have probably been enough to make it a good memory, but not before too long, my 8 year old, and even my 10 year old, also came over, and just joined right in!!! They were all singing their own variations of “whatever”. None of them were the same, but amazingly, they have enough rhythm and melody, that it actually all sounded GOOD together!!! I couldn’t believe it. At one point, I slowed it down and created a little ending, and immediately all the girls started yelling, “Let’s do it again!!!”
It was the coolest thing. I love harmony. I love musicals where the two (or more) parts go together in some amazing counterpoint way, but this morning was something cooler than I ever could have written myself. It will probably be more memorable than anything I could write. What a great morning! I hope everyone has a great day. I know I will!
