The twins have been pretty good about practicing the violin. I rarely get resistance and it is generally overcome with feeble attempts at games, because they're 4, so the bar is low.
Last night, R was doing a strong job at avoiding practicing. And I got frustrated. And I told him that if he wouldn't practice the violin, I'd stop paying for classes and we wouldn't go anymore and I'd return the violin.
To which he responded: Santa brought me the violin.
[silence]
Then me: Well, Santa will be really sad if you don't play the gift that he brought you and he'll want another kid who wants to play have yours.
I may have ruined Christmas.
Oh, well. Not the baby Jesus in a manger part at least... Have I mentioned that S named one of her baby dolls 'baby Jesus'?... That probably needs a post all to its own...
