I got out my Viola and Violin yesterday to do some practicing which I haven't done in, well lets just say it's been a while. It felt so nice to play again, I do miss it, I just don't get to devote the time to it that I would like. I still remembered how to play and actually sounded pretty dang good. So good in fact that Benjamin was content to listen, watch and eat his snacks and Rachel sat on the couch saying "that's a really pretty song mommy" for an entire hour. An hour!! That is unheard of in our house. Anyway Rachel really wanted to try it too so I helped her hold my violin and she took the bow (perfectly I might add) and strung it across the strings. Now she will need to grow into it first and need a little more practice but she did a dang good job for a 2 1/2 year old! I was quite surprise. Maybe she will actually want to play when she is older...that would be one step closer to our family quartet!!

Can I play too?

Next time I am around that little girl, I may just have to show her some rock videos and teach her how to stage slam a guitar. Or a violin :-)
Just Kidding
I have decided I will practice/play the piano twice a week and put a chart on the fridge that I can mark off because I feel like it will be useful and pleasant and important in my life. I hope it pays off.
