Thank you...yes, he is REALLY cool. And the critters are still there, even at
almost 13. I will ask if I may share the words to his song.

Obviously the post was long before I joined the list, but ummmm, you son has
critters in his hair?
Just curious

Rox is here on this list --- she's asked me before to sort of "nudge" her to
practice music - I'm not very good at such nudging, though, so I forget to
nudge and she forgets that she really wanted to practice more regularly. I
feel bad about that - I do think it is fair for a kid to ask her mom to push
her a little. I sometimes want my husband or my friends to push me a bit,
too. Heck, I wouldn't like an aerobics instructor who stood up at the front
and said, "Don't expect me to try to talk you into hard physical exercise,
you just do what you feel like doing right now." There is a place in our
lives for other people who give us a little shove here and there.
