Shortly after Lauren’s birthday she started taking violin lessons from the same teacher that Sophie and I have. Right now she’s learning how to hold the violin and name the different parts. Sophie is also being very “helpful” when we all practice at home. This month Sophie will get “certified” from her school, which means she plays a scale and song that she’s memorized for the director of the school. She’s nervous, but has been playing her song for months now, so is prepared. I can’t wait until all three of us can play a song together!
