Lance's First Piano Lesson

 ... And he did great!  Thus the smiling teacher.  Since his first lesson on Jan. 5 (also Dad's birthday, but that didn't stop Lance!)  He has been working hard at it, practicing every day, except weekends, during Cami's naptime.  His teacher also plays the organ at our church, as well as the music for the primary children.  He also teaches guitar and trumpet, two instruments Jace has interest in.
Kyle really wants to know how to play piano and can't wait 'til he can read, meaning he's big enough to start piano lessons.  He gets so frustrated with himself when he tries to play, "Mary had a Little Lamb" like Lance, and is determined to get it.  I'll show a video of that when the time comes.

(Just turn your head 90 degrees to the left and this should work for you) lol* I wish I could have a video of that!  I'll try to turn my phone the other direction next time :)
We do this drill everyday before sitting down to practice.  Check him out!  "Whole note, Hold down, Half note Half note, quarter, quarter, quarter, quarter."  I love the foot tapping action.
Kyle supports Lance every step of the way.  Little clown!

Does X Box Kinect Count as a Video Game?

Lance was playing the XBox Kinect today when I remembered that this week is s'posed to be "TV-Free Week" at his school.

In a panic, I asked Lance,
"Did they say anything in school today about "No TV?"
"Yes."
"Or video games?"
"Yes."  He didn't even blink and kept playing.
"Lance!  What's that you're playing?"
"X Box!  It's better than video games!  It makes me get my exercise!"

And he continued running and jumping hurdles.  He's been breaking world records and improving his skills in soccer, bowling, ping pong, volleyball,Track and Field, and even boxing (which I'm not too crazy about and they don't get to play as much).

I'm not sure.  Does X Box count as video game?  What do you think?  You can also vote on the poll to the right if you'd like. :)
