So the other day when both boys were up and I have a free moment, I decided to go play my piano for a bit. Okay, if you are a mom, or have young toddlers in your life, The Murphy Law of Mom with toddlers states, “Anything that you are doing, your toddler will want to do”. Jordan immediately came to see what I was doing (I had literally began to play the second bar of my music…. 😥 ! ).

He started helping himself to smashing the piano. I had enough sleep that day so I was able to think instead of react and tell him to stop, which probably wouldn’t work so well anyway. So instead, I said “Oh that’s really loud music you are playing! Sometime real pianist plays music that’s loud and low like that!”

And that began our piano play time that I had not anticipated.

(Sorry for the picture quality! I need to work on taking a photo and playing at the same time! :p )

We played with all kinds of sounds, style, and tempo: loud, soft, high, low, fast, slow, bouncy, long, short. He also got some fine motor play as we played using different fingers. And his favourite was, of course, key smashing lol.

Jordan had a blast experimenting and playing the piano. I do have to say that I’m not trying to “teach” him piano (Piano teachers out there, I’m sure you have more “proper” way of teaching piano 🙂 ), it was just a moment of play.

And we always have fun playing 🙂 .
