My five-year-old just said, “Momma, I meed a guitar. I haven’t played one in WEEKS.”
Me: Or ever.
Emma: I weally need one. With one of those magazines with words on it for all kinds of instruh-mints. Life flutes… or PIANOS… or GUITARS…
Me: Sheet music?
Emma: YES! Sheep music! I meed some of dat too.
Me: SHEET music. You want sheet music and a guitar?
Emma: YES!
And so it begins.
My oldest brother is a professional musician (you should follow him on twitter @matthewwiley), my dad and younger brother are total music junkies and guitar players. She comes by it honestly. Twenty bucks says she’s looking for gigs this time next year.

You better get that baby a guitar! Tucker loves playing his drums (thanks Pa!)…let’s make them start a band so we can live somewhere really nice when we’re old and gray (well…old because I discovered yesterday that I’m already gray!). And the winner for longest blog comment ever iiiiiiisssss ME!
I’m looking for one for Chrimuh!!
Um… I’m PRETTY sure you also have a little music junky on your hands! I mean, she IS the child that always manages to download her own music onto your phone, right?? The kid just screams talent!
I’m with Emma on this one, mom. She weally does meed a guitar!
Surely I’m not the only one who saw this coming?? 😎
She is DEFINITELY musical. I think she’s going to be a musician, Aubrey will be a writer and Sadie will be an actress. There is my prediction!
TROOF!
Matt should be getting her the guitar for Christmas!
