I have officially decided that the recorder is the worst instrument invented and the person who invented it should be shot! I am not kidding. I am so annoyed by the sound it makes. I know this feeling is largely due to my special 4th grader that plays it constantly and not always the right notes either.
So to solve this dilemma I have instituted the rule that she has to do it OUTSIDE! Since the weather has been crappy, she hasn't been able to go outside and it has been killing me. I don't want to squash her desire to practice it, so I try not to be a butthead about it, but really...I just can't handle it.
Anyway, you can imagine my delight when the weather was nice last week and she got to go outside to play. I couldn't pass up the chance to snap this picture of her playing while sitting on the tramp.
She is so adorable. I really do enjoy her even though she is 10 and hormonal and moody and all that. :]

Oh I am soooo with you on the recorder thing. My girls got a mini recorder thingy from their school fair this weekend, and I felt like I was going insane. I told them that if they played the thingys inside I would throw them away. Knowing that they would forget my warning made it comforting to know I would not have to live with the added noise for long :) They are now somewhere in trash heaven :)
Oh so your the parent that tells their child they can't practice at home! I have so many students tell me that their moms won't let them practice!! Glad to know one now!! haha
Oh, I can totally relate! Our recorder days are past, but the tap--tap--tapping of the wannabe drummers in Guitar Hero, just about drive me bonkers! Add to that, it's my 20-year-old who's made it his purpose in life to do absolutely NOTHING! But be home and drive his mother insane! I love him....but I don't know how much more I can take....
I hate the recorder. My 5th grader loves it. I make him go outside too.
You mean Mom, You. ha ha ha ha. I'm so glad the recorder had to be used as a prop for a project my other son was doing at school. It is GONE! Away! Supporting a 6th grader's desire to be a minstrel! and no more shall my 4th grader play it! How many ways have you considered "losing" the recorder?
They have to buy one in Buhl and do recorder karate...is that a requirement everywhere? Kayla's my last, so I don't have to go through it again after this! :)
