Jacob had his spring recital on Saturday.  My mom joined us.  He did very well in his Guild performance, in front of the judge…scoring 26 C's (commendation) and only 2 A's (acceptable).  You want more C's in that test! 

I did not worry much about his recital.  He was playing his favorite 2 pieces from the 7 he learned this semester. 

He nailed the first one…"Night Horseman"

The second one ("Creepy Cat") was going great, but then he forgot the last third of it.  And he was devastated.  I could see his frustration as he tried again.  And then grabbed his head.  There was silence.  But he finished with the last couple of measures.  Then ran down to us with tears in his eyes.  I had to take him out of the room because he was so upset. 

We felt so bad for him.  These are good things to go through, although you hate it for your kids.  Life lessons…hard moments…embarassment…all part of growing up.  He'll be better for it in the end.

We're proud of him.
