Lisa's POV
I just got home from the grocery store, and I was getting ready to start lunch, hiring a babysitter is so much help, luckily it's our neighbor, because it hard going to the store and stuff with 5 young kids, I walked to see the babysitter playing with Micah, Isabelle and Hunter, and I smiled and I saw Jacob over at the piano messing around, I have been teaching them, at least the oldest three, but I walked to the babysitter
"Thank you so much" I said as I paid her and she smiled
"No problem, these kids are the sweetest" she said and I smiled and she walked out and I went and made the kids lunch, once I was finish, I could hear that Jacob was still playing piano and it was really making me smile but he was having trouble figuring this part to this tune
"Hey kiddo having trouble" I said and he looked at me
"Yeah" he said and I just smiled
"Here watch my hands" I said and ended up playing the same thing he did and he was watching and I stopped
"Now you try it" I said and he ended up started again and he rushed it
"Wait why are you rushing it?" I asked and he shrugged
"Okay, this is why you're messing up, first of all, this tune sounds better in a slow pace, don't rush it, and stop being anxious, take a breath, you got it" I said and he started playing it again and slower and he ended up getting the part he struggled on
"See? That's sound so much better" I said and he hugged me
"Thanks mom" he smiled at me
"No problem kiddo" I said and he looked at me
"Mom do you miss performing?" He asked and I just smiled
"Well of course! I loved it" I said and he smiled
"Then why did you stop?" He asked and I took a breath
"Well we knew it was time, Aunt Chrissy got pregnant with Joel, I got pregnant with you and Ry, we decided it was time" I said and he looked at me weird
"So I'm the reason why you quit?" He asked and I shook my head
"No, having kids was a bigger dream of mine, then music, and I got to live my music dream, it was amazing, I got to go South America, Europe, the Philippines" I said and he smiled
"That seem like it was cool, do you miss it?" He asked 
"Well of course, but I'm still around music, like I teach you guys, I will still go to studio sometimes, me and your aunts still sing sometimes, just not like we did, but it was dream I got to live" I said and he nodded and took everything I said
"Mom, I wanna do what you did" w said and I looked at him
"Really?" I asked and he nodded
"Alright, but don't say that because you want to do it because I did it, I want you to do whatever you wanna do, and you're 8, you got a lot of time to figure that out" I said and he smiled
"Okay, I just really love playing music and stuff" he said and I nodded
"Mom I want a guitar for Christmas" he said and I smiled
"Alright, that's coming up" I said and he smiled and I kissed his cheek
"Love you mom" he said
"Love you too, Come on, lunch is ready" he nodded and walked in the kitchen, for a 8 year old, he is definitely a insightful person
