Today was Charlie’s first piano recital. This was the part of the Lycee Francais after school music program so there were a lot of instruments with the majority being piano players.
It was a real nice auditorium at the merit school of Chicago a few blocks from my office downtown. This was the first time playing in front of a large audience.
He was nervous before the start but did really well. Mom did an awesome job with keeping him calm, tie straight and looking good. It was awesome to watch and he did really well because of all the practicing that Mom did with him.
At the end of it all he told me that it was really a “cool” thing he did. He enjoyed the whole experience a lot. Grandpa and Grandma Joyce were also in town for it and got to check it out first hand with us in the second row.
It was a bit late at night for Aidan and there was a lot of kids to go through so by around 7 p.m., after an hour of music (Charlie was first) we left with the gang as everyone was tired.
After the concert I biked while the rest of the gang got Chauffeured by Mom. We basically arrived at the house at the same time but technically I won since I was able to slip into the parking lot gate before the van and sprint to the finishing line. Charlie watched me the whole way with excitement but Aidan couldn’t see as well but found it fun to see me out there as well.
Good fun was had by all.
