Music calms the soul



As Parker's present from Brian and I for his birthday he received what he's had been hoping for a bass guitar. He started lessons last week and is discovering his love for music. Parker can be the highly emotional type and can get easily annoyed with his siblings. Over the last week Brian and I have noticed when we send him to his room to calm down has become his music time. He will practice several times a day basically till his fingertips are sore and he needs a rest. Afterward he is a happier more relaxed kid. He had his second lesson tonight and his teacher was amazed how well he has progressed in just a week. The attention from his teacher and the praise is a good thing for Parker. And I hope he continues to find peace in his music. We are wanting him to be able to play us a Christmas song by December and you bet I will record it and share it with each of you here, like it or not! :)
