I am grateful for piano recitals.

My three oldest boys spent three full weeks preparing for their big performance on Saturday. They each needed to play two pieces at the recital. They spent hours and hours mastering and memorizing their pieces. On the day of the performance I was praying that their nerves wouldn't get the best of them. We even set up a reward system that hinged on them not crying if they made a mistake (I know ... parenting magazines would be horrified). Well, it turns out all my worry was for nothing because the boys ended up performing beautifully. It sure wasn't an easy road, but ultimately the experience outweighed the sacrifice and effort.
