Monday afternoon was the boys' first class in Music Performance. They have an instructor for1 1/2 hours, and this first instruction was a "wow-zer"...we're talking about Music Theory (fifths, diminished chords, bar chords, circle of fifths, etc.). It was quite a challenge.
The Girl and Branch sat in on the class. She decided to cross-stitch, and he listened for a while. Eventually, they both fell asleep in the back. They perform with the boys, so we decided to have them sit in on the class.
After the class, the boys' mental capacities had been challenged, to say the least. Why do we parents do this to them? If you ask any of the boys what Mean Ol' Mama's goal is, they will answer quickly and honestly, "To make our lives as hard as possible." The Bible says that it's good for a young man to bear the yoke in his youth, and so far our classes haven't killed any of them nor snuffed out their exuberance, so we figure we're on the right path: tempering their steel and polishing their swords before they head out into battle. Yep, "...as hard as possible..."
