Carissa was all excited for her first piano recital. She memorized her piece, Up on the Housetop, and looked lovely in her silver sparkly skirt and red shirt with black flowers. The recital was held at MMN Elementary in the old band room, which has nice acoustics.
Grandma came with Carson after school and we went to sit down. Carson was in rare form and he was pointing his fingers at all of Carissa's friends and saying "bzzzz." I was concerned. The first few pieces were done and Carissa's performance came up. She was ready and very poised. Suddenly, her brother decided run and sit down to play along with her.
I knew I would REALLY ruin the moment if I went up to grab him, as he would react loudly. Carissa kept right on playing quite well, despite the obvious distraction. Her piano teacher went up to him and asked him to sit, and she was able to do a repeat...flawless performance.
Being a mother can be mortifying. Other mothers understand when you are in such life dilemmas and moments pass quickly. However, I am hoping Carissa recovers from her first recital nightmare.
