Music Time

My other half is usually out at work all day while I'm minding so apart from a brief hello in the mornings as he's leaving he doesn't really get to meet and interact with the children, which is a shame since he's very good with kids.  On Monday though he had the bank holiday off work so got the pleasure of being surrounded by us girls all day long, for some reason as well as having 2 daughters all my mindees are also girls just now.  In the afternoon after we'd exhausted them playing outside, we headed inside to do get the instruments out and do some singing.  Ian has been taking guitar lessons since christmas yet we rarely hear him play but we managed to convince him to bring his guitar out and I have to say the girls were fascinated by it.

As you can see above they were all desperate to get their fingers on it and make some music, from the 17 month old right up to the two 4.5 year olds.  So after they had all heard him play a bit he sat with each one in turn and let them have a go at playing too.  Funny how the unplanned afternoons can turn out to be the nicest!
