“Do I have to go to the piano recital?”
Yes.
“Can I bring my DS?”
No. And before you ask why, I’ll remind you that this is a big deal for your sister. And we are a family who cheers each other on. We show up. We celebrate. We pay attention. We don’t sit in the audience tuned out and plugged into some little device. Got it?
Peace, Love and Guacamole
small moments. big stories.

He’ll show you.
That’s awesome. The best part about this is that I read it in Reader and it took a minute for the photo to show up. I was kind of thinking it was going to just be a pretty picture of her playing the piano. ha!!!
I’m with you on this one.
We ENGAGE in this family, we don’t tune out.

OK…here’s the deal. No cameras at The Nutcracker in a couple of weeks.
To his (or your) credit, I don’t actually see any little devices. It’s something!
this is what we had to do in the olden days…try to keep our eyes open. We didn’t have those hand held devices, we had to tough it out!
I love that mantra, I think my family needs to adopt it. We cheer one another one. Yes!
I felt like I was listening to a conversation with MY kids. Love your photos.
