Sarah started piano lessons again last week. Her burley Russian teacher said, "She forget nearly everything. That's ok, we get it back." I believe her. She said to Sarah, "You cut nails." Hoo-ray, I like this woman.
It's interesting to watch her get back into it. She must have felt musically starved, as she's practicing like a person obsessed. She's taking guitar lessons too, on top of learning a foreign language (Hebrew). And if her grades are good enough, she's going to try riding lessons. We'll see about that one.
Sarah's becoming more shy around adults and more in need of peers. Though if her friends are absent from school, she will still choose to talk with the Lunch Ladies as opposed to be by herself. She has a fantastic sense of humor and a contagious laugh.
One of the boys in her class likes her -- one of her friends told her, so it must be true. And I think she likes one of the boys in her class -- because she makes a point of telling me how stupid he is every day.
She wrote an essay about courage, and how courage means swallowing your fears when someone is in need of help. There is a beautiful person in there... though like most girls, she doesn't think she's pretty, I make sure she knows how exceptional she is. For now, she believes me.
And yet she still needs to be tucked in at night. The problem is, I can't believe how fast the years have tripped by. She's 9. 9 more and she's grown up! Well, sort of... grown up enough to leave home. I hope I get a couple more years of tucking her in.

Sarah and her best friend Emily, being creative

CONGRATULATIONS to Sarah for getting back to the piano! She always liked playing. You can tell her that her grandparents are listening forward to hearing her play.
