Madeline on a box

Madeline was not big enough to play the real violin, but Nanaw did let her play a box. She gets very excited whenever I have a violin lesson and wants to have one too.

She got particularly excited while Daddy, Aunt Sibling, Nanaw, and Uncle Kurt were playing string quartets. OK, we were all excited, but here's Madeline.

Later she started dancing like a wild child with Aunt Sibling.

Daddy even let her sit in his lap and help hold up his big violin with her heavy head. She took the responsibility very seriously.
