A fiddler in the making!

Last night we went to the Shuptrine's for a garden celebration, and our little friend Flynn gave Maddie his tiny violin!! What a great gift! Flynn's parents assured me it wasn't more than a few bucks on e-bay, so we need not worry about Madelyn's handling of it... that said, it looks and sounds great for a beginner's instrument! Flynn put a sticky note on the case reminding Madelyn to rosin her bow before playing, and just now in our last little "jam session," Madelyn has rosined at least 3 times! Too much fun to watch her play and make up songs!








Here are also some pictures from a fun time last night. Madelyn and Flynn were kindred spirits in playing with the hoses and tempting fate with the sprayers!
