Piano

When I’m practicing during the day, he puts his picture books on the music rack and “plays” them along side me. He stands on a chair next to the bench or on the student footstool. He takes the used student sticky notes out of the recycling basket and sticks them to the wallboard. Best of all, he hovers his hands gracefully over the keys, his wrists making perfect releases in the air.

And sometimes he steps away from the piano and bangs on drums of all sizes, because, you know, a little variety is needed.
