To The Sound of Drumming…
I’m beginning to think I’m corrupting my kid.
A couple weeks back we bought him a couple of ‘fun daggers.’ They’re little foam swords perfect for fighting imaginary monsters…and for drumming.
Lately, that’s all Travis wants to do. He comes home from daycare and immediately he asks: ‘Where’s my swords?’ When he finds them, he locates the loudest possible source for his drumming fun and he pounds.
And pounds. And pounds on said item.
It’s funny. Every once in a while he throws lyrics in for songs and drums to the rhythm of his little voice. Sometimes its the ABC song, mixed in with ‘Twinkle, Twinkle’, blended nicely with lyrics from the new Tegan and Sara album The Con (already album of the year in my humble opinion).
Side note: If you clicked the link and noticed the Parental Advisory sticker on the front, fear not. The sticker is only on the ‘special edition’ which comes with a DVD. The music (and lyrics) are clean as a whistle. I have yet to watch the DVD myself, let alone ‘corrupt’ my kid any further.
Also, please ignore the messiness of the room. Right now, that’s where all the stuff we don’t- know-what-to-do-with goes. It’s a work in progress, y’all.
Anyway, it’s just me and the little guy this weekend. Laura has gone on a much needed ‘girl’s weekend’ with her sister, mom and some aunts and cousins to Madison, Wisconsin.
Gotta go. We fellers need to rassle up somthin’ to eat.
G’night!
T & T
Definately hone in on those drumming skills. Oh, and when I read that comment about the room being a mess I thought, hey, we all have one of those rooms. When I actually saw the room I felt really bad because it looks like one of the cleaner rooms in my house.
Your son is adorable.
I still can’t get over how much your voice doesn’t match your personality. It’s not a dig, just something that gets my attention every time…like shiny objects.
As for the kid, I wish mine were that talented, or could say words like “swords”. As it is, we just get the characters from Sesame Street over and over agian.
