D started taking piano lessons from his current teacher in January (prior to that he took for a few months last summer), and he had his first recital a few weeks ago. I distinctly remember my first piano recital - and it didn't go so well - so I was super nervous for D. The night of the recital I told Paul that I didn't think I could finish my dinner because I was too nervous. He couldn't figure out why I was so nervous - I wasn't doing anything!! All those memories just came flooding back! But D, surprisingly, wasn't nervous at all. The next day he even said, "I want to do it again tonight!" Really? He works very, very hard at the piano and has accomplished a lot over the last eight months. I hope he can always see how talented he is - he can go far! (Yes, I'm his mother, and I'm completely biased.)

D's turn!
He got to play two pieces - Moonlight Sonata and Fur Elise. He did a great job! (Oh, you're probably wondering why I'm sitting there too! I was in charge of the pedal since he can't quite reach yet!)
