John is getting very fast at crawling. His latest joy is carrying things around with him as he crawls. He mainly likes to carry around a wooden drum stick that goes with the xylophone that cousin Sydney got for him for Christmas.
Now, don't do what I did with the little boy I used to watch in high school: we had a drum set in the choir room, and since I didn't want him to hurt himself on it, I told him that anything *else* could be a drum, and demonstrated it by showing him how to "drum" with our hands on stairs, chairs, desks, etc.
Then a few weeks later, someone gave him a drumstick. And since I had already established that "anything can be a drum," the kid happily ran around beating the crap out of everything he could find with the stick, yelling, "It's a drum! It's a drum!"
Have wheels, will travel. That kid's really booking!
ReplyDeleteLook at him go!
