A lot of Musical Cuteness

Today was the kiddos' first recital at Kansas City School of Music.  They got to play a 12 foot concert grand piano!  Little Guy had his very first recital with a scintillating version of Hot, Cross Buns!  He was pretty excited about it.

Little Lady played Sonatina in G Major, Op.49, No.2 by Beethoven.
BB played Entrée by Jon George.
Little Man played Adagio in A Major by Morovsky.  He was incredibly upset because after about the first line his mind went completely blank.  He made up about 2 more lines and then added the ending on it.  It sounded completely like a normal song (I'm actually amazed he was able to do make it sound like nothing was wrong), but he sat down and started crying.  On the way home I told him about some of my awful recital experiences.  One in particular was pretty humiliating.  That did the trick.  He was laughing and feeling better.  Plus, he played classical guitar for the first time and did such a great job.  He played Prelude #5 and Etude #1 both by Aaron Shearer. 
 Little Lady also played Minuet #1 by Bach on the cello, so it was a busy recital. 
 Joel was out of town and the recital was kind of long, so I was so relieved Little Guy and BB made it through the whole thing.  We celebrated with Blasts at Sonic.
This picture is probably the most accurate to real life:
