Sam and William have an excellent new violin/viola teacher. Monday at lessons she asked Sam to go home and immediately practice what they had covered in the lesson to solidify the technique. On our way home I asked Sam if he was planning on practicing like she suggested. He was not very excited to do it since he had just had a long lesson and an hour of practicing before his lesson (cramming). He told me he would if I supplied him with a month’s worth of endless bacon. We negotiated for a few moments then he stated, “Bacon is my currency.” It is nice to know what motivates the boy. Better bacon than the two things William (as a kindergartner) told me he loved most in the world: guns and money.
