Benjamin has had an eventful fall full of growing up things. He has wanted to play a strings instrument since hearing about the after school strings program at his elementary in 1st grade. He showed us this summer that he would be conscientious about practicing by practicing the piano regularly without any whining. He chose the viola and is loving it! He practices without complaint and sometimes without prompting. He is doing really well and sounding great. He also loves how it helps him manage stress--3rd grade is the start of End of Grade testing.
He also is helping out around the house more and likes doing dishes "because the water is so warm".
He also got glasses and is happy that he can see! He is amazed at how well he can see different things that used to be blurry when they were far away.
Benjamin is of course loving reading and reads voraciously (hm...kind of like Amy).
