Life is hard. Every day is a new challenge to face adversity with grace and humor. This blog follows me on my quest to find happiness in the little things that make my life as a Mom so fulfilling.

My Little Drummer Boy
We are now the proud owners of a drum kit. Well, really borrowers, thanks to Peter's cousin Aaron. I thought Daniel's eyes were going to pop out of his head when he first saw the drums in our living room. He has spent considerable time banging away over the past couple of days, and my hearing is pretty much still intact. For now.
Don't get me wrong -- Daniel doesn't just bang haphazardly like Animal from the Muppets. This kid has rhythm. If you play a CD of music, he'll drum along with the beat. He utilizes all of the drums and cymbals, and even stretches his little foot down to the floor pedals. He'll demand of you, "Sing!" and then play along, no matter whether you're singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Pour Some Sugar on Me."
Daniel's musical instrument collection is growing. He has a toy piano, saxophone, and guitar. I bought him a small floor harp for Hanukkah (since he's completely obsessed with the one his teacher plays in music class) Pretty soon we'll be able to tour as the Partridge Family.

I have to believe that your POP-POP is looking down on him. He would get such a kick out of Daniel's performances whether he is dancing or playing with all of his instruments. He is one special little boy. Love him so much it hurts!!
Love - MOM XOXOXO
