Last night Anna had her first piano recital. She is only 7 but she already gets very, very nervous when having to perform in front of others. At our church several months ago, she froze when doing a vocal solo and this has bothered her ever since. Neither Dorene or I were convinced she'd follow through with the recital. Nor did we push it. We let her know it didn't matter to us if she did (and it really didn't, we're not little league parents).
But, the night came, and nervous as she was, she went up there and performed splendidly. My little girl looked so poised and did a great job. Her parents were both proud. Afterward, I was telling her how great she did. Told her how she was so poised, didn't move around on the piano bench, and how it sounded so good. This was a moment of parental nirvana. Anna's response, "Yeah, and I didn't fart."
