Who's Got Talent?

Last weekend our ward had a talent show.  I'd suggested to the boys several weeks ago that they should practice a song for it.

There didn't seem to be too much interest.  I wasn't surprised.

A few hours before we left for the show, Jared says,

"You wanna hear my song for the talent show?"

Me, "You're playing something for the talent show?"

If I wasn't such a slacker Mom, I probably would have put two and two together that his piano playing had improved over the past week and he was actually practicing.

Oops, I guess I should have signed him up for the show!

Never fear, he was a last minute talent and showed much bravery, no jitters, no hesitation.  (I say bravery because I'm a chicken and the two piano recitals that I played in I started, messed up and quietly asked to start over.  Stage fright.  Eeek!)

So, so proud of you, Jared!

He was great! I want to get my kiddos started in piano soon. It was so fun to see him preform so well.

I'd love to hear him play - there's nothing like music wafting through the house, is there? I didn't get to play as a youngster, but my Amanda has been playing for the last 2-1/2 years.
