Benjamin’s 1st day of Kindergarten
Benjamin was a little nervous the 2 days before going to Kindergarten. But the morning before he kept asking over and over, “Is it time yet?” “How much longer?” “Now is it time?” I almost didn’t get him there on time because our district has different schedules on Wednesdays. But we made it in time, and he was not at all nervous. Most all of his pre-school class is in his afternoon Kindergarten class. So he already knows about half of the kids in there. He has the same teacher that Anthony had, so that also makes it easier as well.
He came running out of his class, with big smiles! He is definitely excited to be in school!
What a case these guys are
Benjamin was thinking that maybe he would like to try learning cello too, but said that violin would be enough for right now. (Gee, that is a very grown-up decision Benjamin.) Benjamin and Samuel then began playing in the small 1/8 size cello case. Sam fit in the best!
Truck ride at carnival
For Art City Days the ONE ride that Benjamin wanted to go on was this little truck ride. Cousins Samuel, Matt and Ryan also hitched a ride.
Violin lessons
While at the music store to pick up some music Benjamin saw some little violins hanging on the wall. We said with the most fasinating tone of voice, as if mesmerized by the sight, “Oh mom, I want to play one of those.” It’s been a month since then and I’ve now got him started with violin lessons with Meika. Fortunately the Lewis’ had a little violin that Amanda had outgrown, so we traded for a 1/2 size violin that has been in my closet that is a family violin. When James practices piano, Benjamin likes to get out the violin and practice. Still the basics, and he’s only 5, but still it is fun to see him do this!
