Masterclass

Today was quite exciting. She did her morning garden duties, a little bit of (quite unfocused) school work... And then she had her very first lesson with her new bassoon mentor. It's absolutely the whole point, but C swept in as a breath of fresh air and waves a magic wand over various parts of Katie's technique and playing. She worked really hard for it and C was extremely positive & helpful. Katie was so bouncy when she finished.

At the end of the day, I pondered on the fact that the day had felt quite normal. Nothing about the day had been old normal. Nothing at all. But somewhere in my brain, the weirdness of now has perhaps felt like new normal. I'm not ok with it, and Katie isn't at the point of accepting it as new normal. Several of my friends have commented on their surprise that their children haven't accepted the new normal... Its all very odd!
