Mini Mozart

When Rylan was 3 he started playing soccer for our local team (the tigers)!!

I was SO excited to be a soccer mum. Every Wednesday night and early Saturday morning for the season we would be at his training and the game with 'baby Zahn' all bundle up for the cold weather. I was so happy to be "that" soccer mum and thought Rylan was going to love it as much as me......but....well....he didn't.

I diligently took him and encouraged him for 2 seasons but then realised that my dream of being a soccer mum, with Rylan, was over and at the age of 4 his 'childhood' soccer career came to a close.

During summer of these same years Rylan also did little athletics (which again I LOVED but him, not so much. But he did it for 2 years then decided it was time to move on from that too.

We've been trying to find something that can be 'his thing'. Something he enjoys and something HE WANTS to do. So about 3 months ago Rylan started taking piano lessons. He was really excited to start and unlike the other things he has undertaken he still LOVES it even after 3 months......(that seems serious for a 6 year old dosn't it???)

His teacher said she was 'AMAZED' after his first lesson at how well he had done (true story not just "parent blindness" :) and she continues to tell me that he is "a natural" and that he LOVES his lessons.

I'm so glad he LOVES it and he seems to have found something for him.

Maybe we'll have a little Mozart in the family after all...(after all meaning i didn't quite master that skill...... :)
