Last September I may have recounted the stressful and disappointing experience we had trying to get Luke to take his first piano lesson from a woman who came to our home. It was disastrous. He flat our refused to do the lesson, no matter the long conversations, bribes or threats that ensued. We endeavored to find somewhere else for him to go to for lessons, thinking that another location would help. He plays around on our piano every day, so we felt that he would enjoy it if he gave it a chance, and we also didn't want to set a precedent that he could misbehave and then get what he wanted (in this case, not taking piano lessons). Well it took a few months to find the right place, person and time, but we finally found an instructor and venue for beginner piano lessons and Luke started in early January. He LOVES it!!! The teacher is so great with him, and Matt says he took a perfect approach with our little engineer-in-training Luke in getting him interested by seeing "how it works back there". So glad he was not turned off of music forever because of that first bad experience.
We also started Claire in beginning swimming lessons at the same place that Luke has been going. This is her first time without a "Mommy and me" class and she is also doing great! She is putting her face in and starting to learn how to swim with a lot more improvement week to week than the other class I was in with her before.
Other pics from the week are below. It was nice to be back home with the fam and start living my yoga positive mindset at home!
