Musically Inclined




I think Cami may be musically inclined. She loves to play on her toy piano when she visits Grandmommy and Poppi's house. She taps the keys and dances as the songs play (looking very much like a female Jerri Lee Lewis!) She has also figured out how to change the songs tempos from fast to slow, and quickly looks to her Grandmom for an approving dance when she has found a good one. Technically she has music in her genes. Her Great-grandfather Angelo (Dad's dad) was a natural musician, played by ear, and was in the string band, Ferko. And of course, Cami's daddy is also a natural musician, self-taught on the bass, piano and guitar. One of Cami's favorite times of the day is when Daddy comes home from work and plays the guitar for her. She claps her hands, dances, wiggles, and even tries to strum the strings. During the day when Daddy is at work, Cami will often crawl over to the guitar, look at it, strum the strings, and look sadly at her Mommy, whom she knows cannot play it at all.

Yes - but her Mommy could out tap dance anyone I know. She probably gets her "Jerry Lee Lewis" moves from you!
