Piano Man




Charlie has started taking piano lessons. He has taken for about a month...and loves it. He definitely has a gift...same as his dad and sweet aunt Jennie, well really, all the McClains. It was incredible to watch him with his teacher...she says, "Wow...does he come from a family that plays?" Yes, on his DAD's side. "I can tell" she says...Charlie beams with pride.

He LOVES it and is learning so much so fast. This week he learned to play Mary Had a Little Lamb. He learned it with 4 other songs. He learned 2 more than he was supposed to because he really wanted to learn "Old MacDonald" for this next week.

It is exciting to see your kid in something that he was meant to do. We have done soccer, kindermusic, gymnastics...he has does them, even likes them. But had not yet excelled. But this...THIS he loves, THIS he craves, THIS he keeps coming back to so he can play again and again....

Wow.



His wonderful loyal brother spends hours listening to him play, sings along with him, AND counts all the notes. It is precious to hear Zach tap out and say "quarter quarter half-note, whole-note-hold-it."

Strap it on tight and get ready for the ride!! It's gonna be a fun trip. And who knows, Zach may be equally facile. I like me some bench for the feet!
