Just a quick new post for everyone out there with kids…

Who out there is relieved that school has finally begun?  Who out there has no idea where their summer went?  It’s somewhat of a push and pull; on one hand I wish I had spent more time swimming and playing with my child and on the other, I’m so happy, for her, that school has started once again.  She was becoming soooo bored with Mom and now we are gabbing and laughing at dinner again because there is such a plethora of new information to discuss, having been exposed to all of her friends and their crazy antics all day.  Much more exciting than any project I could have come up with to occupy a Saturday afternoon, no matter how hard I would try.

Any advice on how to encourage my daughter to give band a fair shot would be helpful.  She was all gung-ho to take saxophone lessons during the summer and wants to continue them, but she doesn’t want to be “in band”.  I’m at a loss as to the thought process here.  Maybe some stage fright?  Hard to say.  Tonight is the open house and maybe I can ask around to see if there is some underlying bit of information that she is leaving out.

Let me know how it’s going for you……
