Music lessons

I got a big surprise on Tuesday afternoon when I fetched Daniel from school. Out the class he came, looking as pleased as punch, with a musical instrument case in his hand. He has now started Cornet lessons. He would have liked to be playing the Trombone but they say his arms are not long enough yet. His understands and is still very happy but is looking forward to having longer arms so that he can then play his favourite instrument.

It snowed again last night and this morning, when I checked on the internet, I discovered that Daniel's school is closed for today. It's not been too bad. He started the day practising on his cornet and then spent time in the lounge with his electric train, then he went for a walk with Wendy and Terry (his surrogate grandparents) and came back home drenched. Apparently, he could not avoid the puddles and discovered that one was actually deeper than what he thought. Anyway, being used to these things with my child, I just whisked off his clothes at the door and sent him up for a nice warm bath, which he enjoyed for over 30 minutes. Then he had some lunch while watching TV for aobut 3 hours. Now he is just popping over to show Wendy and Terry his new instrument.

Not sure what tomorrow will be like and will need to check if school is open but after lunch Daniel has a hearing test....

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon it started to snow.

Daniel was sooooo excited and could hardly go to sleep last night. This morning he was the first one up and dressed, quite a miracle!

We checked the websites to see if his school was closed, but it was not. However, when we dropped him off we were told that they will be closing early as they expect the weather to deteriate and, if we wanted, he needn't stay at all. But we decided that, since the school is only a short drive away, he could stay until lunch.

We then took a little drive and took some photos.

It was good to be back home in the warmth. I think they said that it was 2 degrees Celsius today.

I took this photo a few minutes ago...

And then just after I loaded it, I had to take another...
