What were we thinking?!

Jon saw a drum set for sale at our church yard sale and we ended up getting it.

What were we thinking?!

The kids LOVE it!

It is so cute to watch them bang away and the noise isn't as bad as I'd expected it to be.

 

A jam session complete with guitar.

Dominic gets very serious when he's playing.

He calls it "my rock".

The kids are using pencils in these pictures because it didn't come with drum sticks

and I couldn't find the ones we had.

Music

Yesterday at the children's museum there was a guy with a bunch of different instruments. He allowed the kids to play any of them. Dominic had so much fun playing the drums and the violin.

Caitlin wasn't so sure and this is the only time she got remotely close to one. She was content to sit in my lap and watch everything.

Music

Dominic LOVES music. He knows the words to all of his little kid songs and a lot of words to some of our favorite adult songs that we sing. He can sing all of the songs at church as well. If the chorus is sung more than once he'll start following along by the 2nd verse. I guess music is his "thing". I take him to a music class and if he's having a rough day that is what I use to calm him down. He will be singing at the Talent Show at church tomorrow night. He's singing "You Are My Sunshine" while Jon plays the guitar.

When Jon and I are in the car we listen to the radio or our MP3 players. Dominic is pretty vocal about what songs he likes or dislikes. Just to clarify - Jon and I have VERY different tastes in music.

Jon was listening to a radio station on the way home from the Y the other night and a Marilyn Manson song came on. For those of you who don't know who that is - good! For those of you who do -it was the song "The Beautiful People". I guess Jon was getting ready to switch the station because he didn't think Dominic would care for it.

Dominic told Jon "Daddy I like that song, but I can't sing it." I'm not sure if I should be horrified that my son liked a Marilyn Manson song or thankful that it didn't freak him out. Sigh! My husband is corrupting my son. =)
