BIG DAY--first soccer game and 1st violin performance!

Today was a busy day for the Lee household! Lucas had his first performance on violin this morning. Every month, his teacher organizes a trip to a local nursing home. All students are encouraged to attend and show off their skills. Lucas has only had two lessons so we were unsure what to expect! I played piano while the kids played many songs from their Suzuki Level 1 books. For children like Lucas who had very little violin experience, the teacher just had them bow on open strings because it sounded good with the pieces. It was really neat to see Lucas participating in such a special event which I am sure meant alot to the people who lived at the nursing home! I am also glad I got to play as well. What a special day for me. Lucas was a ham (as usual) and was adding his own (more creative) rhythms to the twinkle twinkle variations! Justin said it was quite hilarious and hard not to laugh. They also said his bowing was out of this world!! haha. I can believe that! I was behind the piano so it was hard to see him myself. We were very proud though and glad Lucas got to experience this so soon in his violin studies!







After we left the violin concert, we went to his first soccer game. Three year old soccer is hilarious!! These children just randomly run around the field kicking the ball every direction...that is...when they are not crying...Lucas did great and made 3 goals!! He, in addition to a little girl, were names the MVPs of the day by Coach Ric. Lucas had a great time and was so excited when he got the ball in the goal!!!
