Aiden named him "Frosty"...

Something cute happened at Piano Lessons the other day. I had set this Snowman on a snowy wreath, and added white lights, and placed him in the room where I teach lessons. One of my cute little five-year-old students came into the room and immediately saw him. His face lit up, and he said "Miss Jen, what's his name?"
"He doesn't have a name," I answered.
"He doesn't have a name?" Aiden asked in shock.
"No, he doesn't. Would you like to name him?"
"Uh huh!"
"Ok, what's his name, then?" I asked.
"His name is Frosty!" he said excitedly.
"Wow! That's a good name," I answered. "From now on, his name is Frosty!"
So now we have our very own "Frosty the Snowman".... proudly named by Aiden Marquis!

After we began the lesson, I had Aiden play "Jingle Bells," and we sang the lyrics together after he played it, and then we sang the note names, as well. He has a sweet little voice, and can hold the tune very well! I had to smile, though, because everytime we would get to the word "sleigh" he would get excited and REALLY sing it out! (It was so cute! I wish y'all could have heard him) Well, then I asked him to play the song, not singing, just playing, so he could listen to himself playing the notes. As we neared the end of the song, I thought: "He won't be able to resist singing out that last word!" and sure enough, after playing in silence, he just had to sing "Sleigh!" with lots of enthusiasm.
He is such a doll, and I always enjoy teaching him. Frankly, I have a blast!! Every teacher should teach a cute little man like Aiden.
