The Little Drummer Boy
Yesterday was Hanukah in the Gupta Household. My son (20 months old) received his gift - a red drum set. Something I had be planning for months, based on the fact that he has yet to relinquish two pairs of drum sticks and a practice pad from the Penn Band Drum Section.
I could not possibly overstate this - he *loves* the drums. And when he saw the drumset, he was smiling from ear to ear; its been 24 hours, and he has yet to relinquish the junior sized drum sticks. Exactly the thing parents live for.....until it's 6AM the next morning and discover the fatal flaw in their best laid plans....
Music should be Fun. Somewhere along the way, whether it be after some recital or band competition or chair audition, we have a bad habit of forgeting that. That's a shame. It's nice to rediscover this joy through the youngest musicians among us.

Bwahahaha I told you he would be ours!!!
Don't worry, it'll get better-- just don't let him practice until you go grocery shopping (what my mom used to do)

We'll be buying Brandon something similar one day - but not until the house renovation is done, and we get our soundproof music room (ahhhhhhh.....soundproof music room.....</homer>)
