Waiting for You

On Monday night it was my turn to teach the lesson for Family Night and I didn't start preparing until after dinner. As I was getting my things together I could hear Aaron playing "Right Here Waiting for You " on the piano. I guess Talmage wanted to learn it so he started teaching it to him. We don't have the sheet music but Aaron had memorized it many years ago.

The next morning Talmage was playing the beginning of it over and over. I was surprised (I don't know why) that he learned so much of it so quickly. It's not like he has heard the real song before and was playing the melody from a song he's heard over and over. When I asked him what song he was playing he said, "Waiting For You". Which made sense to him because they were playing it while they were waiting for me. He has now learned a few more sections of the song and can play it smoother. I'll get another video of it some time. But this one is just what he remembers from sitting down with Aaron for 15-20 minutes the night before.

That is so crazy that he learned that. You might have a prodigy on your hands! ;)
