Last year, Henry officially started taking piano lessons. When we lived in Kansas City, I taught him a little from a book, but it was pretty informal. Now that we are here in Minnesota, we have the benefit of my mom. It is a pretty good deal.
When Henry started taking piano, he was naturally pretty good, but soon it started challenging him, and he didn't like it. He actually has to work! There have been a couple lessons that Henry has been in tears, butt not many.
Henry has expressed that he doesn't want to continue lessons, so we are officially forcing him to play piano. I am okay with this. It might be the only thing that stretches his mind right now. Years and years later from now, he might actually thank me....um, but not yet
While we were there, Ruby and Malcolm came. I had some pictures of Malcolm, but they were either blurry or bad, so I only got Ruby.
Even though it was a Sunday, we got up early and we had some time to kill, so what is a family to do...SWORD FIGHT!
Frances is really getting into the fighting thing and sometimes Henry will fight back a little too hard. Game is over once a child gets hurt. I want them to play a little rough, because I know it is healthy. I just cant stand watching or the consequences that inevitably happen.
I am glad Frances likes the fighting stuff because then she is less into the princess stuff. It is all about balance.
