He plays with it so much I really should clean up the edges, but I don't think I will. He doesn't care, and I'm a slacker.

(guilty!!) But when we do, there's usually a hidden blessing. I'm sure it blessed your momma's heart that you could easily give him what he wanted. Now...if he could just learn to politely ask instead of having a meltdown! Patience, my dear, that will come! :)Mama Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254128403913873289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600935.post-65195685392872936572009-01-14T23:30:00.000-05:002009-01-14T23:30:00.000-05:00Both my girls played the violin when they were lit...Both my girls played the violin when they were little. But I have to say they weren't as passionate as your son. Lissa switched to the Viola then the piano. Carmen played violin from 5th grade threw college she actually still has her violin. They learned by doing the Susuki method. I had all the tapes and music till this summer. Carmen passed on her stuff to a friend who is a music teacher in Portland.Shelldellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909456857564077241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600935.post-69588968340028914772009-01-14T17:02:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:02:00.000-05:00You have ancestors that built played and built vio...You have ancestors that built played and built violins??

It's not too early to start lessons, if that is his heart's desire.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855131222804620687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23600935.post-69693940592558564112009-01-14T15:32:00.000-05:002009-01-14T15:32:00.000-05:00Awwww!
