Drummer Girl


 Ready for action.

Doing music at our tiny church we are limited to musicians...so we try and keep it sounding as full as possible, keeping ideas fresh and trying new things. We brought home a kick drum, floor tom, snare, and the high hat so I could (yeah, me) practice a bit. It all ended up in our already chaotic living room - which is all good. It's already a mess, right?! Grey goes right for the sticks and starts drumming. And she adds her latest word, "drum". I told Jude about it later, and he askes, "Has she even seen a drummer before?!"
I don't think so, but she figured it out.

Not much of a video, but here you go...





Speaking of words, and how many, someone asked me what Grey's word count is. I do not know. Word count? I guess that sounds like a normal thing to keep track of. Maybe I'll make a list soon. Uh, I'll try and remember. But, on more exciting things about words, Grey did say 3 new ones today:
 - Cheerio (spoken perfectly, I might add!)
 - Belly.   I've heard you should be careful with what you say. I was changing my clothes, and of course Grey was right next to me. She seems to be like my little shadow lately. I said, "Mom has a fat belly." And Grey immediately responded, "Belly." Great.
 - Drum.

Drum she kept saying over and over. She loves it. Or the attention it brings. ...Could be that.  ;)

Oh, and I haven't practiced the drum once. So, position filled.
