Summer Happenings

We started piano lessons this summer. We first had to get a piano. We chose a digital piano and LOVE it. The kids love practicing thier songs in different sound effects. Laughing, dogs' barks, fireworks... Here's a picture of the piano we choose. Megan and Caden started their lessons in June. Megan says she likes it but her practices are what she needs to do and little more. She is plugging along though. I was going to wait until Caden was a little older to start piano but he really wanted to start. What's a Mom to do? He loves it! He practices a lot. He has even composed his own music. After he played his song for me I told him that he should really write it down. It was so good. He has revised the song since this addition but here's Caden's composition before revisions. :) Notice the forte simbol at the begining. Caden likes to play all his music loud! Megan started swim team. She is amazing. She's fast. She can already do the butterfly stroke better than her Mom! She enjoys it so much I think we decided to keep her in swim team until it gets too cold. She should be participating in the begining of September so stay tuned for more swim posts. Caden was not quite ready for swim team but loved his lessons. He can now dive into the deep end and swim accross to the other side and can swim 25 yrds without stopping. He's improved so much this summer and I think he's over his fears.
