Putting Luke to bed and he seemed like he had something on his mind. So I asked him what he was thinking about.

Luke: I’m just thinking about things I can’t control right now.
Me: Yeah? Like what?
Luke: I’m thinking about when I’m grown up and I’m an electrician. I’m thinking that maybe when I have to go change a lightbulb or something I can play them a couple songs on my violin too.

Luke has been asking about violin lessons since he was seven. We promised him that when he turned nine we’d look into it. It just so happened that his new school offers band and orchestra, so he’s able to get violin lessons at school. He had his first lesson yesterday and loved it.
