[QUOTE="Andy, post: 394925, member: 5096"] So common for older siblings to squash the beliefs of Santa. I think it is hard for them to watch the magic still at work in the house and they are not feeling it. :( Even if you find something special for difficult child, the magic that the younger kids are going through never seems to be felt again once they are older. As for the violin, I completely understand. difficult child took trumpet for over a year. Private lessons so that he did not have to perform to an audience. He also never practiced but seemed to progress each week to a new lesson. We rented the instrument. Is there a concert coming up to also bring on the nerves? You have a good idea of setting up boundaries to keep the instrument. However, like you indicated, if he is not practicing at home now, what is there to say he will start once he is out of the class? Amazing how expensive our kids can get when we work so hard on creating opportunities for them. [/QUOTE]
