Aria has been asking to take violin lessons for quite a while so she and her mom observed a local violin teacher's class (who also teaches a singing class that Aria already attends). Well, after that Aria got even more excited about taking violin lessons so today Aria and mom took the first step and rented a violin for Aria. She will have her first lesson soon. Aria was very excited to show me her "lovely violin." She even gave it a kiss good night before bed. Photos taken Feb. 11, 2013.
