I finally made a decision about what class Lil’B will be taking this fall. I had considered putting him in Violin but we weren’t sure of so many things that I’m opting to wait on that idea. So Lil’B will begin in Piano. Perhaps he’ll transition later??

With Jr. it was seemingly easier. We plunked him in front of the piano and within days knew that we’d found something that spoke to him. Lil’B has always been a bit harder to pin down. This would be one of those moments where I’m sondering if my decisions for my son are more “right” than “not-right”. I realize that agony over the music lesson choice for a 4 year old probably seems a little silly.

So I’ll have two lessons this fall instead of one. That too has weighed on my mind whispering things about “busy”. I am determined to not overschedule us. But it does seem like I’m on standing in front of display with all these shiny, sparkly opportunities trying to pick the best choice for our family out of a dozens of sparkly, shiny, things. Which few things to pick? Which to leave behind? blah……..

But back to lessons. This I’m pleased with – I think. Their lessons didn’t match up at all for a same day option so I chose to have them be two days apart. To spread the driving and hopefully make it more likely that we can combine each lesson day with something else “out of the house”. We’re getting better at doubling-up though I still need some practice at getting to things on time. (Can we just say afflicition – late-itis is a chronic illness that flares up at odd moments usually with a small voice chiming “I need to go potty” directly after being buckled into the carseat or alternatively when a mama-brain chimes “you forgot “X” right after loading the kids up!)
