Day 28 - Music in the house
Music as self expression. That's what we've got going on over here. Lots of it. The teenager has headphones almost permanently inserted in his ears. It seems like he is discovering new music daily. He's very definitely at the age where he feels like his music choices help define who he is to the wider world, but at the same time he's excited to share all of the music he's finding. The girl? Well, the girl, she sings and strums and writes and sings some more. When she's upset, she goes to her room and sings. When she can't sleep, I can hear her in her bed singing. The only way I can get her to take a shower some days is to remind her that she can always sing in there. I love that we've reached an age where the kids are actively searching out what music means to them. It delights them. It comforts them. It moves them. And that moves me. Truly.
