I can't believe it!

Today I dropped the little man off at Mother's Day Out, and HE DIDN'T CRY. You heard me. No tears. Just a hug for old mom, and then he took off to play with the cars and trucks. At first I thought maybe he didn't realize that I was going to leave. So, I called his name and said "See you later!" He turned around and gave me a look like "What, is she still here?!" And so I left. If you know Daniel at all, you will realize how strange this was for me. And, for the second time, when I picked him up, guess who got the first hug and kiss? Georgia. Yep, I guess dear old mom is just chopped liver.....

In other news, I've decided that I'm going to give a piano concert. I'm putting this information out there so that those of you who actually read this will remind me to get myself to the piano and practice when you see me. I'm not sure how long it will take to prepare a recital on only 5 hrs o practice a week, but I'm going to set my goal on it being sometime in the next year. Hopefully sometimes within the next school year. I'm thinking of doing a program of either a) impressionist works, b) works by American composers, or c) American impressionist music. Man, do I like to make it impossible to find music to play, or what! Right now, I'm practicing on "The Fountain of the Aqua-Paola" by Charles Griffes. I have some other ideas for the rest, but I'll talk about that later. Just wanted to throw this out there so you guys can hold me to it!!
