Life Accordion to Olivia

Catherine Newman, a wonderful writer and mother of two, asserts that all parents secretly believe that they’ve got a baby Mozart on their hands as soon as the kid can pull to standing and bounce along to music. It’s at that moment that parents everywhere shrug modestly and offer, “He just really seems to have this great sense of rhythm – we don’t know why.” Well, we try our best to avoid such delusions of grandeur, although I must admit that her flair on the accordion has us dreaming of college scholarships and musical showcases.
