Today was his first lesson with Ben and you know what? it couldn’t have gone better. Happy to say hello, walk right in the door, no worries and straight on the drumkit. The lesson lasted half an hour and so did he, just goes to show, if he’s interested he’ll concentrate. I was so happy with how it all went, there was very little in the way of preparing him, no social story, no meeting with Ben beforehand, although we did talk about playing drums with Ben yesterday and he was okay with that. I really thought it was time for him to have an after school activity and he has been teaching himself to play the drums from watching concert dvd’s to the point where he really needed to be taught correct technique. So glad it turned out I was right.

It’s Saturday and Saxon tries to get up to as much mischief as he can on Saturdays. He likes to draw on himself and then immediately gets upset and needs to wash it off. Today is an Iron Maiden day and if he hasn’t been watching the dvd and playing his drumkit, he’s playing his guitar along to his cd player or he’s chasing us around the house pretending to be Eddie Monster or a ghost. Griffin is smart, he stays down the other end of the house away from the noise. He likes Iron Maiden though and will come out of his room to dance to his favourite song which at the moment seems to be Aces High. Silly Troopers.
