R&M haven’t been playing piano for the last 4 months ( which for their age is a lot of time). We stopped before our gigantic ( should never attempt again) trip. We started back in May but didn’t get the groove back until last week. It was a struggle to get back. The teacher is repeating the lessons again. Finally, last week, I made sure they practiced every day. By today, they didn’t even resist. In fact, they enjoyed playing. R taught his sister how to do it .. and M played some extra pieces.
There is something to be said about discipline… structure/routine and practice. This summer D and I are training ourselves for the upcoming school year. We need to take boys to one school and baby to the other. we need to have a real good routine worked out to make it work. Unfortunately, neither D nor I are good at sticking to a routine.
Right now, I am looking for healthy breakfasts from around the world. Foods that have been there for 1000 years. I don’t want to give them bread or cereal. Should look deeper.
