C and I had a wonderful time at Orchestra Hall on Saturday night. We went to see Sir James Galway and Lady Jeanne Galway play their gold flutes. C got a cd of his from her fabulous flute teacher, for practicing so well. C brought it with and got an autograph AND a photo with them.
It was such an incredible concert and very very inspiring. Words can not explain how talented they are. C was just beside herself. She is a true fan of his.
It was neat to experience her excitement. A very special mommy moment.
She kept saying that this was the best birthday present ever! I didn't think about giving it to her for her birthday. She would just sigh really big and lean back in her chair when she was listening.
At the autograph session, she asked him when he started playing flute.
His reply was 9 years old. Same a C.
Wow. K~
