Harmony – Mon 16th May 2016
By Jeannette | May 16, 2016
As I’m typing this, D is singing, it’s a combination of songs from Oliver (the school production she was in three weeks ago) and “Rule The World” by Take That.
A bit of a strange combo you might think but it’s lovely, absolutely lovely to hear her singing, it means she’s happy.
It’s a sound that was missed over the last couple of weeks, it’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, tiredness and mud (ha, yes, mud!) playing their part.
The singing means that she’s started rehearsing at school for the next musical event, it’s just under a month away but practice, practice and more practice by the wonderfully patient music staff at her SN school should make for a (fingers crossed) successful event. I always find these events very humbling because I appreciate just how much time and effort goes in to just getting the children on to a stage, let alone everything else.
With D though, her singing is very much on her terms. On our sunny walk home today, she mentioned a song she’d been practising – an absolute belter of a song – so…. I thought I’d sing a bit of it. Nope, just nope. Lots of protest and hand twisting.
But that was a tiny blip in an otherwise really good start to our week. One which will also bring D’s birthday at the end of it. There is a definite air of excitement around!
