I got a new piano student this past weekend! His name is Jonah, he is four years old, and he is freakin' adorable. He looks like a little blonde haired, blue eyed angel with a southern accent. This makes him especially dangerous.
Sunday was his first lesson, and he managed to sit through the entire 30 minutes (UNHEARD OF for a 4-year old), but we did take breaks for him to play with the other instrument settings on the digital piano and to have entertaining conversations.
Here's one such conversation:
**Jonah sees my bike, which is in the corner of the living room.**
Jonah: You have a bike!
Me: Yes, I do. I like to ride it to my job.
Jonah: It's not your kid's bike?
Me: No, I don't have any kids.
Jonah: Why not? Do you have a Mommy and Daddy?
Me: Yes. But I'm a grownup so I don't live with them.
Jonah: But you don't have any kids? Why?
Me: I just don't.
**Jonah sees an early childhood picture I have of Jeff and Rob in our living room.**
Jonah: Well, who is THAT?
Me: That's my husband, Mr. Rob, when he was about your age.
Jonah: Is he dead so you don't have kids?
Me: No, he's in the kitchen!
Jonah: Can we go see him?
Me: Not right now, but when we're done with your lesson.
Jonah: I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat.
Believe it or not, you actually can teach a four year old to play piano, but it's a slow process. I can't wait to hear what Jonah has to say this week :)
Happy Tuesday!
