Aww - the moment you've all been waiting for.....Syd's first cello recital! I know she had an orchestra concert, but there were so many kids, you couldn't even see her, let alone hear her. Compare these videos with the first video I posted a few months ago. Hear the difference?

I know it looks like an odd place to have a recital, but it was at an old folks home nearby. This song is called Caterpillar Caterpillar. I will try and post her other videos, but they don't seem to download very well.

A couple weeks ago, Sydnie was able to participate in AIM (Achievement In Music) through piano. She had to sigth read, perform 2 pieces, and give an oral report in front of judges! She was a little nervous, but did fabulous! Her score was 99 points out of 100. She gave her report on the cello, and even played a song for the judge on it. I was so proud! I took her out to breakfast after since it was at 8am on a Saturday. Of course she had the chocolate chip smiley face pancakes. She is becoming quite the little musiancian! Stay tuned for her cello recital pieces - I will try and get them up later this week.

Green eggs and well, we didn't have any ham. In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday this week, we had green eggs for dinner. It was a little weird, but fun! Oh the things I make Syd do with me - it's a good thing she's such a good sport!
