Aly Turns 3!

Aly is 3 today. My sweet baby girl! A unique thing about Aly at 3 is that she has quite the ear for music and rhythm. When I turn music on every morning at breakfast after only 3 notes she will shout out what it is, "Wicked!...Nutcracker!...Beethoven!" it is impressive I have thought, for someone not yet 3 to have such an adept ear.
But that was before she started pointing out the instruments playing in music. Some of them she has learned from different places including Little Einsteins but on Sundays we always listen to classical music in the car and Aly will excitedly shout out the instruments as they come in, "It's the trumpet! It's the 'picolote'! It's the piano! It's the flute! It's the 'viowin'!"....it is kind of incredible to Nathan and I because she is usually correct. We are impressed, but as her parents I guess that's our job.
Aly is absolutely the ham of the family and provides lot's of laughter- she'll do anything for a laugh. I love this little girl so much, I am so grateful for her bright influence in our home.

Seeester, those are great pics of her, and I also agree that she has an amazing ear, she was freaking Ashley and I out when we were there, I mean, she is only 3!

Sounds like your little Aly has a wonderful talent. I predict music lessons in her future!
Hope the move goes well. It will be quite an experience for you to live so far away in such a different culture. Can't wait for you to share it with us all in your blog!
