Good Ear

She's got plenty of musical talent in her family, so we've gotten used to Fiona being able to pick up a tune quickly. But now it looks like she has an even sharper ear than we thought:

One of her relatives taught her the "Doe, a deer" song (actually called Do-Re-Mi) from The Sound of Music and Fiona loves singing it. So, since we live in an iTunes age, I overcame my distaste for all things Sound of Music and downloaded the song for Fiona to hear.

At first, Fiona was thrilled to hear the whole thing, since she just knows the verse that everybody knows (going up the scale). Then she started to listen closer as the song continued and turned to her parents:

"Is that Mary Poppins singing?"

Our jaws dropped.

By the way, she's only seen Mary Poppins once and that was 4-5 months ago.
