i never would have done this as a child

This afternoon we attended our Homeschool Co-Op end-of-the-year-program. Jeneva was in the preschool class this year and I co-taught the Kindergarten class. The program today involved performances by the various classes followed by food, fellowship, and music performances by 12 student musicians. Some played piano. Some played violin. A couple played trumpets. Most of the performances were done by children ages 10 and older. While we were snacking and listening to the musicians Jeneva spotted her preschool teacher and went and whispered in her ear "I can play Hot Cross Buns on the piano." Of course sweet Mrs. Reeth played along and said "wow, that's wonderful, Jeneva." "I want to play my song up there too." Jeneva replied. Well after all of the performers completed their masterpieces, the music teacher (who overheard Jeneva saying she wanted to play) thanked everyone for coming and said that Jeneva had something to perform. Jeneva slowly walked up front (there were about 100 people scattered about this room) slowly and trying to hide the grin on her face. She sat down at the piano, looked around, took a deep breath and played the little musical number that this very un-musical mom taught her on a whim one day. She played Hot Cross Buns with ease and elegance. I couldn't have been prouder.
