YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO FOLLOW YOU BROTHER'S FOOTSTEP

Dani started piano when he was 4 yrs old...
Last year , after reading Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ( by Amy Chua )
I ask him to practice more
On the spring recital 2011 , he did better than the other two recitals before..
( better = meaning I could listen without hoping it end right then )
then, on summer, I started to fight with him about the piano practice
He asked to stop the piano lesson...
On fall, I cannot take it anymore...
he got what he asked.

Timothy started piano at 6 yrs old when he could read letters and count numbers
By the encouragement of the Tiger Mom book, I ask him to practice seriously
He did well on his first spring recital
After Daniel stopped playing piano, Tim practices less
During winter, due to pneumonia, christmas activities, and such..
his performance on winter recital was not good...

Only my husband came to his recital.
I was too tired from going to the doctor office 2 times in a day .
First appointment was Daniel and Sophie's annual check up in their pediatrician .
Second was Timothy's ( in a specialist ) to check a lymph node infection that happened right after the pneumonia...
Thank God ..it was healed quickly after the second round of antibiotic

Timothy said to me : I will stop piano lesson at 4the grade.. just like Dani

I said : You don't always have to follow Dani's footstep
            Maybe you will enjoy piano more than him
            Now PRACTICE !

But I will let him decide when he's in 4th grade
