Michelle's Family

My daughter could possibly one day be one of those really bad contestants on America's Idol tryouts that you see.  Jessica loves to sing.  She sings all the time. And loud.  She watched a youtube video with a little child about age 6 singing (wonderfully I might add), and she longed to be that girl.  The problem is she can't carry a tune at all. Not even close to a tune.  I've tried teaching her some very simple little songs that most 4 year olds could learn with a little practice like Jesus Loves Me or ABC's song.  She tried for just a few minutes, declared them too hard and told me she'd sing her own song.  Subsequent singing lessons have not happened because she "already knows a beautiful song".  It's usually about pottying and legos.  Sometimes about legos IN the potty.

She thinks she's singing wonderfully.  I won't bust her bubble.  At least not until she tells me she's trying out for American Idol.
