The latest in my husbands never ending list of interests is learning to play a musical instrument. So couple of days back, he got himself a guitar. Both my kids look at it as if its a new toy.
Maanasi gets really excited when her dad tries to practice on it. So dad taught her to fold three fingers and to hold the pick with the thumb and the pointer. From then on whenever she sees the guitar she starts working with her fingers.
Today something really funny happened. Maanasi saw the guitar lying on the couch and immediately with utmost sincerity started positioning her fingers. Then she tried tuo use the pick as directed by dad. But the pick unexpectedly fell into the string hole. Now all her attention went in getting the pick out,that she lost control of the carefully positioned fingers. She was not able to get the pick, so she started playing with some toys. A minute after, her attention went back to the guitar . She now looked at her hand and to her dismay realized that her fingers were all out of position! She gave a look of shock,said 'uh oh' and vehemently started working on her hands all over again:-)
So, like the title says," Keep trying, keep on trying" is the lesson I learnt from her!
