Piano lessons..... a no go.

Okay... so after finally finding a place to take Lily to her piano lessons, after paying for six 30 minute lessons up front (thanks to grandpa Bob).. it was a disaster.. I wish I had a picture to share, but I don't, time to invest in a camera so I can catch all these fiascos. With all the time this little girl invests in playing the piano at home I thought she'd for sure be so excited to get to learn from a real teacher, I even told her it was school thinking it would make it sound more legit. She had been talking about going to music school ALL DAY long, even rushed me at dinner (Bakers since we were on a time limit) telling me we couldn't miss her school... then we get there, and from the first step in the door I knew she wasn't going to have it. I dont know if it was the thrift store smell inside the place, and the two old looking hippie guys that worked there (one was the teacher of course), or the that we were crammed into the tiniest room imaginable... something scared her and from the moment she laid eyes on "Rick" she hid on my lap and would not talk, would not look at him, would not have anything to do with her lesson at all, she wouldn't even open her eyes to look at him. He played every kid song he knew, tried to show her all his stuffed animal collection (why a grown man has a collection of this sorts is beyond me).. nothing worked. I left the room thinking if I wasn't there she would snap out of it, but that just made it worse, here came the water works. I was soo bummed, I guess I figured she would just be so excited to learn that I forgot how insanely shy my baby is.... oh well. Maybe in the next year or two we will try again. For now, the next 5 lessons are going to my nephew Brandon, who will learn to rock out on the guitar. Oh... and right as we got in the car, all she could tell us was "Mommy.. he's not a girlie.. I need a girlie to teach me this." Right as we entered the door, she went straight to the piano and played for almost 20 minutes, head phones and all.. figures right.. lol.. I guess I better find a little ole granny to teach her, because Lily.. she does not like men at all!!
