Interestingly it has changed the way I hear music ~ not how I listen but how I hear it.<br /><br />Persuaded: I think I have got better at this mothering thing as I've gone along because I do tend to become *unavailable* one way or another, going off into my own little world. I do try not to do it so much now & Ditz hates it, which tends to stop it dead.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-4361300520591289242009-07-16T12:19:32.825-07:002009-07-16T12:19:32.825-07:00how lucky she is that you are her mother. she got ...how lucky she is that you are her mother. she got the mum she needed and you got, well, Ditz! i think she is an interesting kid. too bad she is so far away.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915962999372304054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-15942012682793230402009-07-16T05:56:30.204-07:002009-07-16T05:56:30.204-07:00I love that picture of you and Ditz. So sweet!
Th...I love that picture of you and Ditz. So sweet!<br /><br />This is so exciting for Ditz and encouraging for me. My Princess has what her piano teacher calls a "clear" voice, has I always did. I would think that is flute like...maybe? My Princess is always trying to force vibrato that just is not there.<br /><br />I used to sing in a Christian band, my aunt's actually, in my teens and I did the soft high harmony. I had some speech difficulties, plus I was in braces back then. I love harmonizing and could even hold my own against anyone going off or singing a different part, even different words, but my voice is not that strong, probably due to having no training. In choirs, I was always put next to the stronger singers that would get off key. <br /><br />Hopefully, my Princess inherited a bit from her father's mother and my aunt, both very strong and beautiful singers. <br /><br />We were at a music group class/workshop given by a trained singer and she told me that formal training should not be done until the child is at least 12 years old. Oh, and my husband's niece began singing opera at 14 years of age and was in a few musical productions. <br /><br />Sorry so long, but singing is a passion of mine (as if you could not tell) and I am hoping my Princess is as talented at it as I think she might be.seekingmyLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242380845994448311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-35112892811885466752009-07-16T03:33:41.589-07:002009-07-16T03:33:41.589-07:00Oh girl I do love that picture!

This post captures what I think is one of the most wonderful things about motherhood... you get to know your child so well, that it's almost like you are part of the same brain, same spirit- or something. I'm not articulating it well, but I suspect you know what I mean. You respond to your child on such a deeply intuitive level.. it goes beyond any other form of communication. I never really understood about unconditional love until I became a mother.<br /><br />oh, and i had that albumn too....shhhh...Diane Shifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449110271720365988noreply@blogger.com
