Piano Man

Gussie loves loves loves the piano right now. For a while Daddy tried to make the big kids keep the lid down over the keys because Gussie kept running over there to play with sticky fingers, but he has now figured out how to lift the key lid by himself, and he has enough arm strength to haul himself up onto the piano bench, so there's no stopping him. And since between Catherine and Mary someone is at the piano about eight hours a day, he is constantly reminded that he wants to play also.

It's always adorable, but when he's wearing his jacket and bow tie, and he looks so serious about it, and he tries to use individual fingers instead of just hammering on the keys with his fists or palms, it's pretty much the best thing ever.

And he knows it. (Yes, sorry, from an edited picture to unedited ones. Now you know that I don't actually take good pictures in camera at all. But if I wait to edit all these he's going to be performing actual concerts before you see them.)

Back to work.
