Cello

Little Grace has been waiting to get old enough to play a string instrument. You can start in third grade. You can start younger if your mother is nice enough, but if your mother has already lived through a couple beginning violinist she might not be nice enough.

Yesterday Grace had her first lesson. We thought we had rented a cello from the school, but it turned out that she was only allowed to use it at school. So today right after school we went to the music store. It took us three stops at three different music stores to get everything that was on "the list". 

We got home, and of course she had to try it out right away. It was just as I had remembered.

End of story.
