Caleb Our Little Mozart

Yes, we still love our little Caleb.
It's been a while since we've posted about little Caleb. He is such a cutie! He was always wanting to play piano songs for our blog and we didn't want it to look like all our posts were always about him, so that is why we created his own piano playing blog.
(It's good encouragement to make him practice too!)

Anyway, he has been doing so well with his piano, that I just had to post a little video on our family blog of his latest song. This is the best I've heard him on this particular song, and we are really very proud. Remember he taught himself to play and doesn't have a piano teacher. I just go out and buy the piano books and he reads through them and plays.

He's even started writing his own music! Just today he showed me a song he entitled "Whistles" that he's got all written out on green construction paper that he plays.

Here's him playing one of Mozart's pieces:



Oh, and he's saying "Thanks Debbie" to our friend Debbie who showed him a particular sharp he was mixing up to make one of the chords sound better than he had been playing. (If he has any trouble we rely on the help of another--I don't know anything!)

Oh, and please anyone that wants to stop by Caleb's blog every now and then and leave him a comment, it really helps motivate him to play!

I can't believe it! He's so good! I didn't learn that song until I was about 15-16, and I had a teacher who helped me. Wow. I can't wait to hear what he'll be like when he's 15.
