2014-01-29: Celebrating Nigel's Performances

Nigel played Twinkle Variation A for his music school's recent Honors Audition, and the Twinkle Theme and Twinkle Variation A with a large group of performers at the school's recent Suzuki group recital. He had only three days to learn the Theme, and he and Dad worked very hard to get him ready to play that. He was able to do so, playing the whole theme with the group, and had no trouble keeping up with the group on Variation A.

Mom and Dad were very proud of Nigel's playing, his work in getting ready for those performances, and the family went out tonight to celebrate. Nigel chose to go to Maggie Moo's for ice cream. They read the positive comments from the teachers, and everyone enjoyed their treat. Nigel got a bowl of Cotton Candy-flavored ice cream, with his favorite candy mixed in: M&Ms.

Earlier in the evening, Mom asked Nigel if he were going to be hungry for dinner soon, or if he were still full from his recent snack. Nigel said that he was still full, and gave another great quote, saying, "Look at my stomach. It is as plump as a chipmunk!"
