I wish I could sign the kids up for everything they were interested in, but I just don't have the money! We bought Caitlyn a viola. I signed her up with the only viola teacher in the county. She only charges a little more than I do per lesson, but since she lives in the city she also charges a monthly gas fee which tacks on even more cost. Caitlyn can't take dance too. My plan was to do viola lessons for a year, then join school orchestra with no lesson and do dance another year. Dh says school orchestra is not enough. I took lessons during my school years. He didn't until his later high school years. He would know and Caitlyn has inherited his musical abilities. We'll get to that next summer though. Emily is really upset and mad that I did not buy her a violin. I had considered it, but the violin currently for sale appears to be rather cheap. Really, the deciding factor was Emily's lack of devotion to music and her frustration that results in throwing things. I thought she'd be happy with dance, but she really wants to play violin. I wish these girls didn't have to try to be the same when they most certainly are not. I've made a deal with Emily. She gets a sticker on the chart for every day she practices music (piano, viola, recorder, whatever) and an x over it if she throws something. If she does make it, she won't get to do dance either. Violin teachers are expensive too. I wish piano teachers weren't so numerous. We're a dime a dozen. At least Aaron's got a clarinet student too. I have pictures I will upload some day. We will be going on a little vacation Thursday through Saturday. I wish we could stay home for Tooele's Independence day celebration. Logan area doesn't seem to have much and the parade is at noon. It is too hot that time of day.
Yesterday I took Ben to the eye doctor. He has prescribed glasses to protect his one good eye. After much discussion with the vision teacher we've decided to start with sunglasses.
