(Or possibly, new trying things?)
The Boy is not always eager to try new things. However this summer he has taken up springboard diving lessons and also drumming.
His enthusiasm for diving has waned somewhat since last summer (and the one before that), since his waxwork portrayal of Tom Daley, and since I signed him up (a couple of months ago) for this two week course at our local Town Park. I think it's fair to say that for the last couple of days I've been taking him to his lesson under duress. However, it did go a bit better today (jumping off the high board) so fingers crossed his enjoyment will grow. If not, that'll just have to be nine* 45 minute chunks that (as he would put it) he'll "never have back".
His first drumming lesson was last Thursday, in a soundproof room at a nearby music school. It's hard (it takes extraordinary coordination), but he likes it. He's been drumming (on the couch, the desk, his knees, the dinner table; with sticks, hands, cutlery) ever since. He's petitioning heavily for a drum-kit of his own.
Our neighbours are going to love us...
*no lesson on July 4th
Neighbours probably safe. Could be reverberations nearer home
ReplyDeleteWe spoke to a friend at the weekend who had bought her son a drum kit and put it in the basement. I asked if she could hear it in the rest of the house. "You can hear it across the road", she said.
ReplyDeleteDid she explain it's I90?
