"Best oboe player"

I wasn't sure what to post this week, so I asked Zachary.  He said to post that he was the best oboe player.  I've made attempts at explaining this idea, since he is the only oboe player at school, and how to be careful of pride, etc.  It's not sinking in, so I'm leaving it alone.  What I do like is that he has aspirations and great focus with oboe.  So maybe one day, he will be the "best oboe player."

He asked me to take some pictures of various fingering positions.  So I figured I'd play with my camera.  Not much to see, but his cute blurred grin in the second picture.

Jr. Beta Club car wash, well sorta.

We had our final Jr. Beta Club field trip this week.  The students went to a home where disabled adults live.  They washed their vehicles that they use for various outings.  While they did get the vehicles washed, they also ended up very wet.  Zachary was so proud of himself because he let the girls get him wet.  The members were so kind to consider his reaction.
