My oldest daughter does music therapy on Monday afternoons. She loves anything to do with music. After her 30 minute session, her music therapist gives my middle daughter a piano lesson...but we use a keyboard. It is extremely nice to have one therapy AND extra curricular where I do not have to drive any where!
This afternoon my daughter with Rett Syndrome was really quiet. We were calling her name and she wasn't coming to us. So I started looking for her in all her normal hiding places, but she wasn't there. And she wasn't laughing to give herself away either. The last place I looked was in our front office, where my middle daughter has her keyboard set up.
There she was standing in front of the keyboard! I am sure she was trying to play it, but it was turned off. So I immediately turned it on for her and she started to play away! And I had someone bring me my camera!
I love how she was so interested and wanted to play music. I was sad how she was unable to come tell me or to yell to me she needed help! I'm just happy I found her in there while she was still interested and didn't miss an opportunity to hear her play.
Here is a quote for today...
Life is like a piano...what you get out of it, depends on how you play it- Author Unknown
