petite piano player

This one's especially for Auntie Christine, who keeps leaving messages on our machine asking for more pictures. Here's to you, "Attie Kiki"!

Maia's been taking an extra interest in the piano lately. Sometimes she's more interested in the buttons on the digital keyboard than the piano keys themselves (so sad). But often she likes to play beside me. This is refreshing, because for a while I think she saw the piano as competition when it seemed to be getting my full attention instead of her.

We've worked out a new deal (which she is likely unaware of). She now gets the high end of the keys where things sound a little sweeter and she can't mess with the record buttons. I can't tell you how many times I've lost new material I'd recorded before I finally learned this lesson.

So for good measure, here are some shots of Maia enjoying the keys all to herself. Sometimes playing, sometimes singing, sometimes really belting it out. I'm looking forward to the words to the words to these songs one day.
