Hey, Mom, guess what?

Delia has told me that she wants to start cello this year. The school orchestra needs another cello, and Delia knows the conductor because she's the mother of one of Fiona's best friends, and in fact runs the music camp that the girls attended this summer. She also wants to continue keyboard. And Sheila has an instrument that Delia can use, so there's no rental fee. I told her yes, she may, as long as she PRACTICES.

Cross your fingers. Maybe it will stick.
