Both my girls are quite musical – not too surprisingly really as both hubby and I are musical as are both sets of grandparents and at least four out of the eight great-grandparents were musical too. Jessica frequently walks around the house singing, sometimes it’s endless repeats of the Teletubbies theme, other times it might be other songs she knows or something that she’s making up and it’s lovely to hear her. Sophie has also started to sing the words to ‘Row, Row Your Boat’ – the first three words are definitely recognisable and whilst the words to the rest of the song are less definite, it’s clear from the pattern of the sounds that she is making that she is trying to sing the entire verse. It was particularly lovely recently to see both girls doing ‘Row, Row Your Boat’ together.
This month’s photos were taken just before Christmas during the final rehearsal for the concert that we were performing in. The girls love the piano and we’ve had a few moments of them trying to help our pianist during rehearsals so they were very happy to have the chance of sitting on the stool together and having a few minutes to play to their hearts content. I love the fact that they were so happy to be playing the piano together and really do look like they are properly playing in one of the photos although of course what they were actually playing was a somewhat discordant composition of their own.
This month has seen a little shift in their sibling relationship – with Jessica having started preschool earlier this week, there are now a couple of mornings each week which Sophie and Jessica will be spending apart. Jessica certainly enjoyed her first morning at preschool and Sophie too enjoyed having that one-to-one time with Mummy and being able to play with the toys to her heart’s content without having a big sister around to object to any of it!
Love this, they look so happy & content x
Thank you – it was a lovely moment 🙂
When you look at past photos of them both, they are growing so much together!!
I know – they are both growing up so quickly! Slow down time, please!
They look so happy together and content just playing on the piano. Lovely photographs 🙂
Thank you, they were having a lovely time 🙂
They always look so cute together. I love your very diplomatic description of the sounds they produced: “a somewhat discordant composition of their own”. Ha ha!
Thanks Mel – it seemed an appropriate description! 🙂
Just look at them at the piano! These are lovely and they look terribly grown-up. You can see what they’ll look like in five years’ time here, can’t you?
Thank you – yes, I think so too!
These photos are lovely, mine often love to sit at the piano. Bet they enjoyed being in the Christmas Concert. They really do look like they are playing in the top and bottom one. #siblings
Thank you – they had a lovely time 🙂
So lovely to see them in front of the piano, we aren’t musical at all although we give it a good try as we sing along to the radio #Siblings
Thank you – we love singing along to the radio too 🙂
Oh, I love these. They do look like they’re playing together, and they look so adorable side by side x
Thank you – I love seeing them at the piano like this 🙂
What gorgeous photos! I wonder if they will perform duets together later 😉
Thank you – I hope so! 🙂
Oh wow – they look so sweet together – and both so grown up too! I’m sure their ‘modern classical’ will be the next thing to take the music world by storm!!
Thank you Carie 🙂
Love these! They look like they’re having so much fun together.
Thank you – they were! 🙂
Ahhh, such a lovely moment of them sharing the piano and enjoying it together. Just adorable! x
Thank you – it was a lovely moment 🙂
Love these photos what a great moment to capture. I hope preschool is still going well and you are enjoying the one-to-one time x
Thank you 🙂
Such a lovely set of photos, they look so happy playing together and so absorbed in each other. #siblings
Thank you 🙂
