New Year, New [Ear] Drums

Merrick got a drum set for Christmas. *I heard the collective gasp of mothers all around the country*. Yes, our house just got even louder. I am trying to be supportive, but ohmuhears.

He is actually pretty "good" at it. He uses the foot pedal, hits the drums, and makes up songs all at the same time. Better than I could do...I don't always multi-task very well.

One of the things I want to do this New Year is get a few lessons for him. I am not expecting him to be a child prodigy or anything (I mean, duh, he already is...;) but would like to see if this is the year that I find a creative outlet for his boundless energy.

Billy is always saying Merrick has the hair for this particular musical instrument. So maybe one day, when he's a rich and famous drummer, people will leave me alone about getting my kid a hair cut. ;)
