Padawan Learner had his first piano recital this afternoon. He started playing this fall. I’m proud of him for playing so well, for managing his apprehension about starting an instrument later than his friends did, and for getting past his fear of playing in front of people he didn’t know. He made one little mistake, joked about it after he sat back down, and seemed glad to have participated. We went out to dinner afterwards to celebrate, and we let him pick the place.
Way to go PL! Noah is taking piano as well. He seems to like it, but is now asking for a drum set… Yikes!
