Piano Camp

The week before last, Reese had piano camp. She was so excited for me to enroll her, but the few days before she started the camp, she kept saying she didn't want to go. Well, I told her I had already paid, so she had to go, but if she didn't like it after this week, we wouldn't do it anymore--it was only an hour each day. Well, the first day we get there and she hysterically cried and threw a fit....neither of my kids have EVER done this before and she is now almost FIVE. She wouldn't even put her feet down so I could set her down. Finally, Ms. Margarita told me to leave her and come back at 2:00. So, I did. I walked out and could not believe I just left my daughter this way. I stood outside the door and listened as Ms. Margarita FIRMLY told her to "stop crying, we do not cry at piano camp". Well, she stopped. I stayed the entire time to listen and make sure everything was going okay. At the end, she came bouncing and smiling around the corner with her treats. Ms. Margarita said she was such a good girl and did a wonderful job. I was so proud of her. She loved going each day and Ms. Margarita seemed to think she had some natural ability. We are going to get my grandmother's piano from my dad and possibly sign her up for weekly lessons. I loved watching her go and try something different and haveso much fun doing it!
