As most of you have read, Ella’s class is studying bees this semester. Today on the way home, I asked Ella if she learned anything wonderful today. “Yes we did” said Ella. “We learned that the drone bee gives the queen bee sperm and then she lays her eggs and then bees come out. The queen bee can live for 7 years. The drone just dies after he gives the sperm”. Well there you have it. The story of the drone and the queen bee told by a 5 year old. It was beautiful out so when we came home, Ella went for a bike ride. After the bike ride, Ella had her piano lesson. Ella is doing so well. She learned 2 songs today! She has an amazing ear and she doesn’t really look up at her music which is beautiful in one way and not so great in another way. I was like this too and my reading could be a lot better. I’m thinking of teaching her how to read the notes on the staff and maybe that will get her interested in reading music. Sunny and I went out tonight and Ella got to hang out next door. We all had a great night.
Checking out the water.
Pure happiness.
See ya later.
Playing with the remote control helicopter. Check out the video – mostly piano lesson and a little bit of helicopter flying.
I love the bee story. Next comes the bird story! Ella’s joy from playing the piano is palpable. You’ve given her two wonderful gifts: your patience and your ear. Love you. Mom
