The day was wet and rainy, but we ventured out into Central London, jumping puddles on our way down the streets, still decorated for the Jubilee.

(Notice Caleb’s ‘briefcase’ he insisted bringing)
The occasion was piano grades for Caleb and Hannah. Caleb has had grades for gymnastics and Hannah has had grades for ballet, but those have all been with others in the room. The piano grades are just each of the kids separately with the examiner. Caleb was really looking forward to that, whereas, it made Hannah more nervous.

We enjoyed some private time in a warm-up room, where both Caleb and Hannah ran through their pieces and quizzed each other on the other information they would be tested on.

Then they were called back separately for their grades. Caleb came back happy to have it over and Hannah came back worried she failed because she messed up and had to start a piece over.

Hannah Warming Up
We just got word this week that they both passed! Hannah passed with Merits and Caleb passed with Distinction.
