I asked her a while a go, how she would describe herself, and the first word she said very quickly was, "funny!" with a big smile. I said, you mean, you think you are very funny as in you can make others laugh? And she said with a goofy smile and a bit shy this time, "Yeah" . :) Not the first word I would use to describe J, but okay. She can Prime laugh a lot and when Prime was a baby, we always relied on J to make Prime laugh very hard so I guess that's about right.
When she has some energy, she played with the clay model I bought for the kids just yesterday. Look what she made.

Those are characters from Veggie Tales.She also wanted to play Blokus (maybe its the medicine, the girl got a little extra energy all of a sudden), and because I blocked her, she lost and was crying and didn't even put up her last few pieces. :( I had to tell her, crying just does not help you that much. I know, I can be harsh but that's how it is . I understand she is frustrated and upset, but she needs to learn to redirect that energy and put it to good use and not cry so easily. Just how I feel.
Later, after some beautiful Andre Bocelli music, J was playing the piano again. :) Overall, she is not in a great mood and not acting like herself. That at least I can sympathize with. Back to bed she goes.
I'm looking for a piano teacher for her and if I find a good one at a reasonable price, we will give it a try. But the advice I received from a good friend, is be ready to quit. Well, I'm ready. When J doesn't show much interest in it and agrees to quit, we will. I don't feel it is a waste of money to try...how would I know other wise?
