I am so behind and I am working on all pictures but here are a few things I have to write down before I forget:
1. Benny now gives me parts to play on his keyboard. Like he'll say, "Okay, Mommy, you play right here. This A. Like this." And then he'll help my finger play the A in a certain rhythm. Then he plays along. I can't hear any of it because he's wearing his headphones. If I do it wrong he will say, "NO. Like this! Try again!" in a really helpful and encouraging way. *FAINT* He explained to me once that it's because his finger can't go all the way to that A.
2. He's playing Lightly Row QUITE WELL. Today's practice I played with him and I played harmony parts on all the Twinkles and he stuck to the melody and stayed right with me -- very nice! I tried playing duet on Lightly Row but he's not strong enough on that song yet to hold his own part. HE IS DOING SO WELL THOUGH!!! Recital June 12 all are invited. :)
3. He wrote an email to his best friend, Gabe:
...........
i wunt fun
i wunu play
love benny
...........
IS THERE ANYTHING SWEETER THAN THAT PURE BEAUTIFUL TRANSPARENCY OF SPIRIT? "I WUNT FUN"!?!?! I almost died when I read that.
