During my pregnancy I took ukulele lessons and practiced as often as I could. Not exactly sure why, but that little bit of info always makes people laugh. I’m a dorky gal friends, this should come as no surprise. Anyway, I loved the way Olive would move around with each strum. She had an exceptionally fussy day today. Her afternoon walk, which usually brings peace and relief from her crying jags wasn’t doing the trick. So I tried playing Eddie Vedder’s Ukulele Songs for her on my iPhone. Then there was sweet silence and I started daydreaming, maybe she’ll take an interest in music when she grows up. And because I’m a parent, I dream big envisioning full ride musician scholarships and eventually a professional career as a professor, composer, master of all things music. But then again I’d be happy if she just wanted to play the ukulele with her dorky mama every once in awhile.
