All good kindergarten skills. :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355236900283837334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042443150467349808.post-12636864533796172342012-01-14T08:58:58.618-08:002012-01-14T08:58:58.618-08:00I know!

But, so far, all he wants to do when asked is drums! So, instead of being scared of that (Oh no! I don't want a rock star!!!), I'll let him explore with *gasp* drums and hope it leads into deeper things as we go along. There is still (Lord-willing!) plenty of years for the slow and steady introduction of the wonders of the cello... :-)Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334761120042292556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042443150467349808.post-34615900305255727702012-01-14T07:23:32.593-08:002012-01-14T07:23:32.593-08:00For me (so far at least), the difficulty has been ...For me (so far at least), the difficulty has been in accepting that my four year old's appreciation in music will not be what I had imagined for him. :) I pictured my darling cherub sitting in a circle of other darling cherubs holding his quarter sized cello, and from the time he could sit up, he's been a drummer. He would set out upside-down buckets in a ring around him, and have a ball. Now, at 4, he's surprisingly good on his jr. set, but a part of me still wants that tiny cello!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849710342656437160noreply@blogger.com
