I just have to say, yesterday morning was a "hoot." I got the boys up, and fed them breakfast. They usually have cheerios and some milk. I guess I should clarify. They have cheerios and a side of milk. We haven't gotten into putting the two together...its just too messy for them to feed themselves. Anyway, I was in the other room letting them eat. Both the boys were at the table. All of a sudden, I heard a blood curdling scream from Caden. I ran out there to see what was going on. Caden was in full blown tears. His face was red and he couldn't breathe from crying so hard. I hastily tried to figure out what had happened. Then, I looked into his cereal bowl. There were his cheerios, floating in a sea of milk. Oh boy...Landon then turned to me and said, "I didn't want my milk anymore." He had poured his cup of milk into Caden's bowl of cereal, which for obvious reasons infuriated Caden to the point of tears. I silently laughed in my head and put on a stern face. I sent Landon into his room without being able to finish the rest of his cheerios and gave Caden Landon's bowl of cereal. Then I went into my room and laughed into my pillow so they wouldn't hear me. Landon has recently acquired a bad habit of putting food (or drinks apparantly) that he doesn't want into other people's bowls or onto their plates. He has also just dumped his water out onto the ground (outside, luckily) if he decides after one sip that he doesn't want it anymore. We're going to have to try and "nip this in the bud" before it gets any worse!!
Last night, I got an email from a mother requesting voice lessons for her daughter. My first student!! I am so excited. However, after the excitement wore off (very quickly), I started to panic. I started questioning my knowledge and if I would really be able to do this. So, I quickly went to work figuring out what I wanted to start off with and made a list of the materials I would need. I called the mother today to talk to her about sending her daughter in for an "evaluation" so that I would know where she was at with her skill level. The appointment is set for two Mondays from now. That will give me enough time to get my music stand, books, and other materials. Consequently, I have spent the majority of the day online shopping for the music stand, accompaniment soundtracks, and music books. Also, I need to find someone to come and tune my parents' piano. It needs it badly. My piano is stuffed in our basement. Besides, it doesn't make sense making students from Warwick travel half an hour to get to my house in Cumberland.
Well, there isn't much more interesting going on today in RI...its been a cloudy day with alot of internet surfing.
