2-year old E - SM and an active toddler!

I decided to give E a complete break from the keyboard as I think it was sensory overload for her and too overwhelming. But we have played all the scales from Do to Do up till Fa to Fa ( and she keeps asking for Sol to Sol - must get round to making that next!!). We also play HCB and JB on PowerPoint. She likes to play Do to Do and back down on the toy piano (I have sellotaped on the solfege symbols) and she like to play freestyle on the keyboard which she does very gently and using a finger to try out different notes.

I was thinking this would be the full update but today E woke 15 mins early from her nap before I had a chance to do any piano practice myself. She was still tired so I gave her milk and let her stay in bed while I played quietly but she could hear me. Then I was playing fruit lines and she asked to cone sit on my lap to watch. Then she asked to play Guess key! I was really surprised but happy to try. Then I got a phone call for 2 minutes and normally she loses interest but she just kept shouting while I was on rpthe phone that she wanted to play( was not sure whether to be happy or annoyed by this )

Anyway we played with her getting a rubber ball to put into a bowl for every one correct note. I tried to stop at one min but she absoluteky refused! She carried on playing for over 3 mins! I was able to ask for 3 correct notes before giving each ball by the end.

I have no idea if we will be able to repeat this but it is heartening as that was bynfar the best effort ever with that game
