Piano Recital

Kyler had his very first piano recital on January 29. He has taken lessons since last summer but this is the first time he's had a recital. Greg and I were really looking forward to it so we could see him perform in front of a group.

The recital didn't start until after 7 pm so we got a babysitter for Caden. The kids' bedtime is 7 pm and we knew he couldn't handle being up that late and be rested enough for preschool the next morning. I was so glad we did that because we didn't end up getting home until almost 9 pm!

Kyler had chosen two songs to play. The first song, “Old Pig Donald,” played to the tune of “Old McDonald,” was played as a duet with his teacher. He did a fantastic job on that one! The second song he chose was “I Wish I Were a Fish” and he struggled more on that one. At home in practice he played it perfectly 100 times. But for some reason, he froze up and he told me later he got confused. Oh well, it happens. We are just proud of him for getting up there and doing it. It was a new experience for him and he did well.

Here he is playing his songs. :)
