M's New Hobby

Madeline has discovered the piano. At least ten times a day she crawls over, pulls up on the piano bench, stands on her tippy-toes and starts “playing.” I’ve been letting her bang on it for months now while sitting on my lap. But now that she can do it herself, I think it has become lots more fun for her.

She has figured out that if she moves her hand from left to right, the pitch begins to get higher. She works her fingers up the keyboard, enjoying the changing sound.

I do love to watch her learn. I can almost see the new connections being formed in that little brain.
