Remember this picture? I had it on a post at the beginning of the school year. This was when he was SO excited about being in band. So excited about playing the trombone. Now, not so much. If he could throw that thing out the window he would. If I didn't pay monthly on it I would let him. He is so frustrated with that thing, and to be honest, so am I. All year he has practiced but probably not to his full potential. Now that school is almost out it's finals time and the final is playing a few scales. Easy, right? Well, for my son...the worry wart...he says he can't do it and he doesn't know them very well. WHAT? So, he is cramming a years worth of band into one week. He is going in for extra practice with tears in his eyes. He hates playing in front of all his friends so obviously band is not for him. ha! He hates when his schedule gets messed with..well, excuse me! Bless his little heart and BTW, the hives have started.
Pray for my Reidster....

3 posts since I checked in!!! I love the pic of R with the trombone. Bless...bless. I know he will do great on the scales and then move on. Someday he'll look back and laugh at his year in band...concert in flip flops and all! :) LOVE the pic of you and Macy. And your blackberry bush... SO impressed! I'll bring tea to have with the pie ;) Love ya!
It's good he has stuck with it, even if he'll be glad to be done with it. I'm sure he will do fine on his scales test!
I think the *pool* concert thing was a neat idea--and fun.
Poor Reid. He is in dire need of a summer vacation. And a trip to Camp Neena! Love him and you all.
Oh Reid, I'm sorry we have worry wart genes! Band wasn't my favorite class either. It got me out of PE and that was the only thing I appreciated about it! At least you don't have to hate athletics too! Yea for summer & I think camp Neena will make you forget all about it! Three posts since I checked. Go hezzy!
