Trying new things...

Libi's Sunday school classmates are all in Kindergarten or 1st grade, but she thinks she can do everything they can do.

Our children's choir and chime choirs at church all require you to be in elementary school before you can participate.

Today Libi asked to try chime choir with her friends, so I asked the director if we could try. As of today, Libi is in the choir and playing 1 note in a song for the priests ordination. We will see how this turns out.... especially when Libi is playing on the final half note of a measure also known as the "and" beat. When the director was counting, "1, 2, 3, 4, AND" and pointing to Libi to play her bell, my daughter kept her bell still and yelled, "5!!!!" Heaven help the music teacher in me :)

In the evening we began opening the birthday gifts.

My little girl isn't certain what to do with the weapons that come with her toys-- but making a pattern with them seemed right.
