The Pianist

I am so proud of little J! He looked very funny in his blazer and tie with his feet swinging in the air as he played on an amazing grand piano on stage. He had a weird piano class before the concert- he was behaving like he was on drugs- hyper, mocking the teacher sort of. Very erratic. She told me to think nothing of it and to not talk about it with him. We went to Celeste for dinner with tía D and M and sure enough, he returned to the concert hall and played like a champ. The pieces some of the older (but not that much older) kids played blew me away. I kind of felt like I was in one of those documentaries about extraordinary kids and I wondered how much their parents make them practice to be that good. I am very happy this day is over. It was so cold I thought we would freeze. I loaded L into a taxi with AleVit this am (not the easiest maneuver- I felt bad that she would have to unload on her own and redo it at the end of the day). Tutored post school and met L back at Mannes (we are a good team- I am lost without her) and then attended the concert post dinner. MoJo looked like they were falling asleep at the end of the concert. Hurray to my mini Mozart.
