la la la la

I can easily pick anything that is out of tune, but to my sorrow, I can't sing a note in tune. I LOVE singing. I love music. Two things I always wanted to do were to play the piano and sing. I'm pleased I could never learn to play the piano because my fingers wouldn't allow me to do so now and it would be so much worse to have the ability yet not be able to use it. The inability to sing doesn't stop me from singing though - especially not on my long drives on my own! I hope Cary enjoys the choir. It will be good for him - and you.

Congrats to Carey. My voice is probably worse than your and of course, it reminds me of a story. I am not known for brevity. Actually, some mylotters have told me that I make too long posts, but what the hell - you cannot keep a good pair of X chromosomes down!2 years ago I was in the Dominican Republic with a GF and she can sing. It was a church conference for a week. Remember that I do not speak Spanish but she did. One of the Priests had heard GF sing something called the 8 point hallelujah and he loved singing it. Well, they had a street Mass and there must have been at least a thousand people if not more, attending the Mass together with 2 bishops and a posse of Priests - maybe 12 or more. GF had sore throat. Reember that bit. Vital. Halfway through the Mass the priest comes up and says the Bishop would like for us to sing the 8 point hallelujah. Totally freaking out we made our way to the front where the Bishop and Priests were. The conductor of the choir pointed his little baton at me to begin. I told GF that she had to start then everyone would join in. she opened her mouth and only a croak came out - not even one hallelujah! My face must have shown what I was feeling and the Priest bravely begun and then I joined in. It was awful. I was so embarrassed and now whenever it is sang at Mass we look at each other and start giggling. I am laughing now at the memory

that's good. why dont you enrol them in voice lessons to enhance their talent, that way, you will have your dream come true through your sons. i also train my youngest to sing and i regret not having enough time to let the elder brothers sing too..

Good for cary, hope he enjoys singing as much as u do. See all that singing u did for them is going to pay off. My bigmama & i sang going up & down the road when i was a child. I loved it. Have very good memories of my bigmama.That is wonderful they are all doing well in school. U are sure doing something right, Dawn. Good for u.

It is great that he has a natural talent not only for music in general but also for singing. Is it something that he enjoys doing? It would be great if he could pursue that, even as something that he does in his free time for fun. It is even better that all three of your children are doing great in school. I hope that they continue to do well, since becoming a teenager has a tendency to wreak havoc with a child's brain. I think it is all the hormones or something.

Congratulations Mommy Dawn-- I am proud for Cary... a promising star. I know how happy you are for receiving that news from your kid's teacher. I will not be surprise that sooner you will be sharing more about his performance -- my dear stage mom LOL.

We felt the music here in the text of the discussion you started at mylot.com. But that melody is created not by your child. It is created by his mom. Mother of a child could feel better than other. Mom sings in the response of her baby. And the same song we listened here in your discussion. No love is pure and great than the love of mother of a child. Child gifts you lala lala in response of the love you gifted him. wish you and your family best of uck.

Woo Hoo! Good for Cary! I bet he has to be very proud of himself! And momma is too! Sounds like they are all on the right track!

As a Mom it doesn't get any better than having all your kids do well in school, I had a few years of that and always enjoyed them.

Well done Cary! I am just like you Dawn, I love to sing but I can’t and my daughter won’t let me do it. It’s great that your son has a good voice; that is so lucky! My little girl sounds as though she’s inherited my singing talents unfortunately so I won’t be encouraging her to audition for Idol anytime soon! Great to hear they are all doing well at school too, you should be proud.

Hi dawn, my first impression on meeting the new music teacher last year in the shop was he must be tone deaf. There's really no need to lie to me and tell me my son has a good singing voice. I've heard it and guarantee he's inherited it from me.

congratulations . you can now sing to your heart's content (at least in the bathroom). no offense . i know exactly how a mother feels. in this regard, i'd like to let you know of an almost exact same thing i discovered. i hve a toddler and he goes to school already. english is our second language and they have this 1-10 counting numbers being studied already complicated by the before, after or in between missing nos. that the child has to figure out. my child didn't exactly perfect the quiz but he got 3 mistakes (the highest in the class). i was so, so happy since being a former teacher i know how complicated this is for a 3 year old child with english as a second language. but i do know that in education, as long as half the class can answer and half of them can answer half of the teacher's questions then they can study it. big, big deal for me since i'm quite poor in math. i totally zonk out with the site of nos.

That's really good! You're son would be living your dream. I've been a choir member for years, and it's so much fun. Not only do I get to sing, but I also get to socialize with people who have the same interests as I do. I say let him do it if he wants to.

Hi dawn Hey that is great that they might want for him for the choir. How does that make you feel? Are you jealousy that he might get to that and not you..HAHAHAHA No one in my house can sing for sure. Hubby is all the time trying to see to me but let me tell you...He Can't Sing...LOL

Well that is great so will he be joining the Choir, I really hope so do not let the Voice go to waste I am glad that all 3 are doing great at School keep it up you 3 and you to Dawn

That's okay dear, atleast you could sing with the right tune. You don't have to be a diva or a pop star. Even pop star do not really have a good quality voice. Just enjoy music and be proud of your child who will make your dream come true! :)

hey thats cool. i like to sing and have been told i have a pretty good voice but my daughter is in vocals at school (her 3rd year and before that she was taking singing lessons) plus she sings with our praise team at church and is ALWAYS telling me not to sing! (but, alas, she is a teenager...)

Hi, D! What a joy your kids are! I don't blame you for doing a little bragging now and then!

Hi dawnald, Well one child has to follow their grandmother's foot steps, so why not Cary? yes let him join the school choir, that will be great and I am glad all of the cheildren are doing well today. My mother had a fantastic voice and I can't sing for toffs, lol! Tamara

I will happily admit that neither I, nor ANYBODY in my family (as far as I know) has even a partially bearable singing voice. My sister is the one who is usually spouting out a tune. However, I don't think "tune" is the correct word to use. It is an absolute racket and has me holding my ears in pain. It's miserable having nobody to serenade you like some privileged Greek god :D Only kidding
