Allie and Greg have both been taking piano lessons for about two months now. Neither of them practices nearly enough, unless you consider 1/2 hour just before their 1/2 hour lesson enough.

I told Greg that we need to get serious both about Allie practicing piano (Greg is a big boy, he can remember to practice by himself) and about Allie practicing reading (Greg has that one covered).

Last night, we worked a little on her reading. Tonight we were in the living room, watching TV with the sound on low, while Allie tried to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb," among other songs, in the dining room. She was doing well, so we hollered some encouragement.

She did not think she was doing well, so she hollered back, "This one is called Head Music." Blamm, blamm, blamm, blamm, came the sound. She's a prodigy!
