This morning Kai woke me at 06:30 (it was still dark) playing his trumpet.

(grandpa plays and bought him a soprano cornet last christmas. It usually stays on the shelf 'till he's bigger'.)

My first thought was...he's getting at least four notes out of that thing! That's impressive!

My second (and overriding) thought was

'KAI! PUT THAT THING AWAY I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!'

I have since told him that I was impressed - at a more sane hour.

The trumpet will be on a higher shelf tonight!
