Finger Tap

My son taps his feet to make sounds from his shoes. My son also taps his fingers on the piano to make beautiful sounds. 

When I was young, I too took piano lessons. So did my husband. I had a wonderful experience because Lola Neneng - my grandmother's cousin - taught me so patiently and lovingly. I grew up and sadly stopped :( 

After years of not seeing each other, last year, when Lola Nanny died, the news reached Lola Neneng and she visited. Boy was I glad. Happy to see this woman who did not grow one year older the last time I saw her. She was and still is as lively and as chatty as before. My heart literally smiled in the middle of mourning. 

A couple of weeks after settling in a world without our naughty, haughty but loving grandmother, I asked Lola Neneng if she could teach my li'l man to play the piano because he was showing interest. She said yes and with a big discount! What every mom wants :D 



There was a phase when he got disinterested because it was interfering with his play time, but now he's ok. His dad supports him by downloading free piano pieces he likes like Little Big Planet.



Music from his favorite Playstation Game "Little Big Planet"

For my son it's fun. For me it's so much more. I see a very bright future ahead for my son who at a young age of 8 can already do so much. It's not bad that I enjoy seeing and listening to him too.
