Sophia gets eclectic, magpie instruction from Makenna while riding about in the backseat of the car. She likes to point out to her little sister that we can sometimes see the moon in the daytime; or, when we're barely moving in soggy freeway traffic, she reminds her that the trees like to drink the rainwater.
Sophia rarely comments but she does seem to be paying close attention to the flow of information. I tune in and out depending on driving conditions. The three of us were out for an easy drive to the store yesterday so I happened to be listening as Makenna launched into a mini-lecture on music.
"Do you know what a cappella means, Sophia?"
No response from Sophia so it was a good guess she didn't know the answer.
"A cappella is when people sing but no instruments," she continued.
Sophia is silent, taking this in.
"Just singing with voices, Sophia," Makenna feels compelled to add.
That's probably the end of it. At 18 months, Sophia's vocabulary is still limited so it's doubtful a cappella is going to stick.
