Tonight is my youngest's first violin recital. When asked, Samantha told me that she chose the violin because "Daddy played." My husband played the violin in grade school and high school. Although I tried to push him to play for me, I never heard him because he always said, "I have to practice first, it's been awhile." I told him I didn't care, I wanted to hear him play. That day never came. Tonight, Samantha will play with the school orchestra for the first time. She's nervous, but I know that tonight Jeff will hear her play. I just know it. Tomorrow, I'll let you know how she did! -- Lisa
Update: Well of course, she did great! She seemed nervous, but once the teacher began, you could see she was fine. She mouthed the song so she said she "could keep up." She also said, "Mommy, did you hear the screech I made?!" And I said, "Nope, I didn't hear it." And she said, "Well, I did!" Honestly for their first performance I was a very proud mom!
