He signed up for the Orchestra contest for the school district and his time slot was this morning. He prepared a piece to play solo and performed in front of the judge this morning. The judges are professional musicians and they give the performers feedback on how they can improve and what they do really well. The Super Kid has pretty bad anxiety so this was so so hard for him but he powered through and did it! I am so proud of him! The judge told him to work on timing (he plays violin) and gave him an example of what she meant that made sense to him (she said a sentence with really odd spacing/pauses and told him playing music with the wrong timing is very similar to having the wrong pauses in a sentence--it sounds off and smoother playing sounds better). He was so excited at how well he did and how nice the judge was :)
We stopped to buy dog food on the way. Usually I am not a fan of shopping with all four because they tend to be hyper and want things and its stressful but today? I think my children have been replaced or something. They listened, they behaved, they were polite, they were calm. Is it just finally "clicking"? :p
