Duet

Teresa & Red Grandpa playing a "Twinkle, twinkle" duet

She can also play most of "Mary had a little lamb" & "Birthday party"

Our little composer

Andrew has been plunking out his own tunes on the piano lately & coming up with some pretty interesting sounds. Yesterday, he played one that sounded rather oriental in nature.

Andrew: What country does that sound like, Mom?
Me: Japan?
Andrew: Yeah! I'll call it Japan Boogie.

Alternatives

Teresa's alternative use for the bathroom step stool.
Da, da, da, dum...

Our Virtuosos

I started teaching Andrew piano a few months ago. We're using the same book that Darren learned from when he was a wee little thing: "Teaching Little Fingers to Play". He really has caught on quickly. He tends toward memorization & playing it by ear, though... like me. :P It's been fun to see his progress. Ever since he started playing regularly, the girls have taken more of an interest in it as well. Here's Teresa playing "Good King Wenceslaus".
