So, here's just a few fun times(they turned out great Mooz, thanks!) we and Lauren had at her Grandpa's house (my Dad's house). Lauren loved the slip in slide, eating sliced turkey and of course her Soy Milk, searching for bugs (flies and ants are her favorite-she'll watch them with great patience), trying to get away with pulling of a few more artificial grapes from Grandpa's indoor greenery, following Sandy dog around (she gets SO excited when she finds her), and I think she has finally let me practice the violin with Grandpa on the piano! Although I have to admit she still slightly protests when I get out the instrument or when she hears a recording of the piece we've been practicing. It's kind of funny she says, "You're not going to play violin, Mommy." It's as though she is trying to do reverse psychology on me or something. I'm not really that bad am I?! I just have to explain to her that it will only be for a little while and that I still love her. :) How sad. Maybe my brothers who grew up with my violin practicing in the background of their childhood ears and from the years of exposure can feel Lauren's pain.? And my brothers are really smart, so you just never know what that kind of musical exposure will do for a child! ;) Just kidding. I can't take credit for any of their accomplishments. Anyways, this time I even got a hug and recently I got her applause, so I think we have made some progress this summer! I just think she prefers more her Daddy's instrument...the drums (see pictures from previous post). There are never any protests when given a shot at the drums. We love our little Lauren!
