You know that place between thinking something is
so cute once and wanting to wear ear plugs?
That's where I am at right now.
Between Braden's
obsession with a early 90's keyboard and his red recorder and Berk's
devotion to developing his talents on the tambourine and harmonica I am ready to crack! Thankfully, I have to note, the spoons, finger cymbals and kazoo's have all
mysteriously disappeared. Why can't they pick a
normal annoying instrument--- like the drums????
And Berk is even practicing his piano duets with his cousin. Luckily, the piano is at Grandma's and Braden prefers to frequent an electric guitar or violin when he is there- so at least they aren't fighting for practice time, right? (
By the way, Genny, how is his form? Should I sign him up for lessons???)
I am in for a
long, long music filled life, aren't I? I have to admit it though, I totally remember learning "Candle on the Water" from Pete's Dragon when I was in about the 3rd grade. And I am sure my Mom wanted to toss my recorder somewhere too. And though I complain, I really do look forward to the day when I get to
force them into practicing an instrument because they have coerced me into signing them up for some music class. I never had that little joy as a child, since after my five older siblings all fought piano lessons, I was left out of the musical instrument department.

Definitely a child prodigy. I love the picture of the two babies at the piano with the binkies in their mouths. Cute!!
Cute, you will love it when they start playing duets. Hey, I am number 6 and never got music lessons either! Your mom should have stuck in there she would have gotten a second wind. My 5 younger siblings all got to take lessons. Hang in there!
I have to tell you, now that my two older ones have been taking piano for 3 years (Steven) and 1 year (Emily), it is wonderful. Their songs are getting enjoyable to listen to! However, my son is learning recorder at school and brought it home to practice. How do you tell your kid nicely that it sounds great, BUT could they please practice in their room with the door shut? :)Gotta love it.
Cute stuff! Remember who your neighbors are when he does his first live concert!!
I love it!! He actually looks like he really understands what he's doing! He is even showing the other baby (couldn't tell who it was) where the high notes are!
I actually started teaching a 3 year old last month. Normally I would never do that, but I teach his older brother and he's a piano genius, so I figured there's a good chance the younger brother would be successful. So far he is doing great! So hey, piano lessons look like they are in your near future :o)
Thanks for telling me about this post! I didn't realize that I hadn't subscribed to your feed yet on my new laptop. Now I won't miss any more posts! No wonder my feed reader has been quiet lately!
