The Walker Quartet

So, my kids love to sing.  All the time.  All four enjoy singing, but none more than my oldest, Emma.  

As a tiny two-year-old Emma would mimic the Disney Princess CD that was playing in the car, and has since then taken on a sort of romantic vibrato that can sound pretty incredible.  

Cubby has just begun learning to like singing.  She and Emma sing together a lot, ever since Cubby joined Emma's choir group a month ago.  I think she likes learning the hand motions that go along with the music almost as much as the songs themselves.  

Even though Little G is only two, she already has quite a catalog of songs in her little head that she likes to belt out, usually at bedtime.  The A, B, C Song is a favorite, of course.  And along with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Rock-A-Bye Baby, and Jesus Loves Me, Little G is also learning the girls' songs from choir practice.

J.D. is not really a singer just yet.  His favorite song is "Tractor, Tractor" set to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."  It. Is. Hilarious.  Sometimes he throws in some other J.D. hot topics such as, backhoe, bike, or motorcycle, which he pronounces "mow-ka-kow."  And yes, I will post a video of him saying this. So, no, J.D. doesn't really sing, but he loves to play the air guitar.  Whenever the girls start an impromptu sing-a-long, J.D. will automatically start strumming his "guitar" along with their tune.  He dances around a little, too.  

Anyway, the other night at bedtime the four kids lined up in the twins' room to sing a song for me.  The song was Doe a Deer, a Female Deer....you know the tune!  Here goes the Walker Quartet....air guitar and all!  Enjoy!

These kids are clearly theatrical AND musical, so next show, I am not going to let you off the hook, April! Now be sure to bring them to see "Annie," OK?
