Sweet skills

Remember my idea for lesson motivation/using up holiday candy?  Today we were using some gummies she'd gotten from school, and they ended up having a dual purpose.  All piano teachers have spare change lying around to put on student's hands when their wrists start sagging.  The game is trying to see if the student can keep it there without slipping off - and a nice teacher will even let the student keep the coin.  Since our one year-old is into swallowing every chokeable he can find, spare change is not readily found lately - so I improvised with her gummies.  Delicious!  Motivational!  Squishy!

If you get anymore genius and inspired, I might throw up.
That's a great idea. Now I just need some kids to practice with...
