We did get to spend two night this past week enjoying our kids Christmas concerts. The oldest plays the french horn. I never played a instrument, well that's not exactly true. I did try the violin in grade school but the teacher told me she thought it was best if I didn't pursue it any further. What? I loved that violin and nobody played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star like I did. Looking back maybe that was the issue {smile}.
The youngest sang a couple songs at his concert. They were so adorable singing All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth. The middle child escaped without having to do anything this year.
Back to the french horn. I walk, actually sometimes trip passed this thing everyday. It's beautiful. It draws my in. I want to make beautiful music come out of it like my daughter does. How does she make it look so easy? Here's the thing, I am a very competitive person, anyone who knows me knows this about me. Several times now in the trance of this beautiful instrument calling my name I have tried to get a note out of it. Just one note that's all I'm asking for and I just can not do it. I don't defeat easily but that horn beats me every time. So I guess I'll have to just enjoy the music my daughter magically plays.
Happy Friday!!
