The "hoppiest" of negotiations

"I'll trade you five frog hops for a line of Lightly Row."

Not something I thought I'd be saying in violin lessons.  Luckily for me, one very tired little kindergartner loves frog hopping right now.  She's very good at it, starting from the very floor and actually able to stretch out and gain air time just like a leaping frog.

This has been our currency for the month of January.  I don't know how long it will last, but I'm grateful it's working for now.  She needs to move, and thinks it's fun, and I get her to play the violin by trading notes for hops. And I am envious of her movement.  I might just see if I can still do a frog hop--but in the privacy of my own living room, of course.
