A Merit for Music

It can be difficult to get a decent photo of Shane.

Especially with all that hair.

He tends to hide from the camera, or pull silly faces, or just walk away, refusing to have his picture taken.

But he and Shiloh, they have a special bond

and when left alone, they have these special moments.

Shane has been learning guitar at school for the last few weeks.

It’s the first time in his life he’s ever picked up a guitar, and he’s taken to it so naturally he’s surprised even himself.

He’s learned to play Mary had a little lamb and Twinkle twinkle little star, by heart, in just 2 weeks.

Shiloh is absolutely overjoyed with his playing.

Yesterday he played for his teacher, and earned a merit. His first merit so far at high school.

And he’s earned the admiration of his devoted baby brother.
