Britney and Garfunkel


Music is important in our home. (Despite what Jared's voice sounds like.) I love to sing, play the piano.... and I'm always listening for a good new sound. Ella is the same way, and just like her mom she likes a wide variety of music.

She knows every word to the Primary songs. We often hear the songs of Selena Gomez, Britney Spears or Demi Lovato sung at the top of her lungs, and not a day goes by that we aren't treated to an "Ella Original." The lyrics never make sense... but I'm sure they do to her.

Lately she has found some new music she can really get into. Simon and Garfunkel. Yup... good ol' folk music. Her favorite song of late is "Homeward Bound." She can sing almost every word, but really belts the chorus.

Our musical 4-year-old may not have reached her full vocal potential yet. Yes, she often shouts the lyrics. Yes, she usually takes a good song and makes it bad by making us listen to it over, and over and over again. No, she doesn't hit every note on pitch.... but it is all music to my ears.
