Maybe the Pikes could only afford for him to take about 10 piano lessons?

It's mentioned in Mallory Hates Boys (and Gym). When The Pikes and Hobarts do the brother switch, Jordan plays the piano for Mr and Mrs Hobart.

It's also mentioned when Mallory takes horseback riding lessons. She tells her parents if she pays for half her lessons they'd be cheaper for her parents than Jordan's piano lessons. The jerks take her up on the offer, heh.

I wonder if any of the other Pike kids take any special lessons.

^I don't think so. I can't recall it ever being mentioned, plus, it really would get expensive, since only Mallory would be able to pay for part of them.
ETA: The lunacy of what I just typed finally struck me. My parents paid for my private violin lessons until I was 17, and the only reason they stopped was because I stopped taking them! I made $6 an hour for three hours twice a week tutoring kids -- after taxes, I would barely have been able to cover half of each lesson!

I used to play piano when I was younger for maybe a year or so, but now I don't think I can even play Mary had a little lamb. Besides Jeff, do the triplets have any other friends besides eachother?

I don't think they really do. But there aren't a lot of other ten year old boys in Stoneybrook are there? But unlike the Arnold twins they don't seem to want to go out of their way to make seperate friends.
I thought Mal's riding lessons were a special offer of some sort. I can't think of many kids I know who would want to take a music lesson if they had to pay for half of it. I would have dropped piano so fast if I'd had to pay for half my lessons. I dropped it pretty fast anyway.

It dosen't seem that way, or the other 10 year old boys don't need a babysitter to watch over them all the time. I always wondered if the boys are going to be inseperatable once they reached pubertly or if they would still be "the three musketeers ."

In Dawn's Family Feud, doesn't Jeff have a little sulk about the triplets going off with their other friends and not playing with Jeff? I think the triplets do have other friends, but probably spend *most* of their time with each other, which is understandable. And when Jeff is in Stoneybrook, they're pretty good friends.

^Yep, Jeff is all upset cause the triplets are hanging out with some other boys. I'm sure they have friends, I mean at ten years old, wouldn't kids think triplets were really cool and want to be around them at school and stuff? When I was that young, my classmates thought me and my sister were cool for being twins. But maybe I'm just naturally more cool than the triplets, so that probably helped too Anywhooo.. its kind of weird to compare the Arnold twins to the Pike triplets. The Arnolds are dying for separate identities whereas the Pike triplets cling to one another and barely ever are apart. Then again, the triplets were never forced to actually BE THE SAME PERSON, so that could be why they enjoy one anothers company so much.

Yeah, in Mallory and the Trouble With Twins, Mallory tells the girls that no one treats the triplets as one person, with one identity, and they are mightily impressed. And even after the twins were allowed to be separate, they still spent a fair bit of time together, didn't they? Well, except for that whole Gozzie Kunka episode... But after that, I thought they were pretty close.

Aren't twins naturally more closer to eachother?

Well yeah after the Arnold's stop resenting each other, they do become close, but they still seem like they're a lot more independent than the Pike triplets.
