Over the Black Friday sales, Mom found some deals on movies that couldn't be passed up. One of the movies is The Sound of Music. We thought that Ben was close to being old enough to watch it and that Elizabeth (like nearly everything else) would just be along for the ride. Mom thought the kids would start the movie, get bored, and have to wait a year or two to try it again. Well, we have now seen it nearly four times since it went into the DVD player on our trip home from Kansas. Ben knows several of the songs and Elizabeth tries her best to keep up. So if you see Ben and he belts out "How do you solve a problem like Maria?", please don't laugh but encourage his love of singing. It is so funny to hear him racing his cars down the hall singing "Doe a deer, a female deer".
While Elizabeth hasn't quite caught as many words she still enjoys the music and the kids. Her style of singing can be less structured sometimes as this morning she was belting out "WE ARE HAPPY" over and over again. Maybe it is a real song that she learned at school (because she also sings a lot of those), but it was new to us. Glad that we are happy though. :) We'll be shopping for more kid's music (and musicals!) in the months to come. I think Mary Poppins is next if Mom gets her way. :)
