Madeleine makes sweet(ish) music



Madeleine has a bin in her room with her musical instruments in it: a train whistle, jingle bells, a bodhran (irish drum), some maracas, and a mickey mouse keyboard and songbook. She got them out recently and told me, "I'm making music Mommy!". She sat with the songbook open across her legs, would look at the page, sing some made-up song while beating on the drum. Them she'd blow on the train whistle and shake the maracas. It was very...percussive.
