First of all, I had a recital with all of my students. I now have 12 piano students, and 3 voice students. Here they all are, minus one who ran to a soccer game. I love these kids, they are all uniquely talented and it has been so fun to teach them. Many have asked how I make this work with my own kids, and honestly I feel very blessed. It's working right now because none of my kids are in school, I start lessons at 3:30 and by that time they are a little sick of me and ready for some new faces! It works out well, most of my students come in twos with a sibling, one plays with the girls while the other has a lesson. Sometimes the parents stay to play with the girls as well. It works even better if I put out a board game, play dough or coloring books. The baby naps for all or part of the lessons. My kids know the routine now and are very cooperative, especially if they get to "help" by putting a stamp on completed songs. I don't know how it will work next year when Lucy is in kindergarten, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Next, Meg got her first hair cut. This is my friend Kelly, who I love, and Meg loves, but for some reason she was not excited about the hair cut! She was excited all week, and then when we got there got really shy.
She sat still for about a minute, then had to come sit with me to finish. She wouldn't let Kelly blow dry or anything, which is Lucy's favorite part. It may have to do with the fact that her sisters were playing with all the cool toys and she had to sit still. She's still as cute as ever!
