my Boys

Today was piano..I have three students on Wednesdays, they are all boys. I have started calling them "my boys". these boys are the cool cats on the elementary campus, every one knows them and every one likes them...but I have enjoyed getting to know them to find out that:

-one is a perfectionist and loves my kids like his own siblings, he also has a gift with music I think between the obsession to get everything 100 right and his natural music tendencies he could be a great piano player...hes learning the music maybe cool....just like all the sports he plays perfectly.My favorite line he ever said?? I was telling the boys that girls like a guy who can play the piano and that this could help them out in the future (LOL) he thinks on this for a while and says " I thought it was foot ball that got the girls!?"

-one is a talker, he likes to tell me what he got going on, exaggerate the truth ( just a tiny bit) and he shakes the whole time he plays..not because he doesn't get it, but because hes not sure if he really has it right. he always wants to go first, and show me things on you tube...=)

- one is so so shy, which you would never guess at first, but hes quite and sweet, he has an amazing ear, because hes so shy I sometimes forget about his amazing ear and play a small part of his assignment to help him feel more comfortable, but then when he can play it perfectly after, I realize my mistake...when will I learn not to play for those whole have a great ear?? hes the kind of boy that i think...."can you get baptized so that you can marry my daughter when you get older.???. =)"

they come into the house like a whirlwind, laugh at joey for two hours, shove at least one of the three out the back door to contend with angie, eat, laugh and do home work while they are here....and while the house is trashed when they leave, my week is just not the same with out "my boys" coming to visit...
