Music Hour at the Bair's

Joseph is warming up more and more to songs, especially now that he is getting to know and remember them more and more. I sometimes walk by him watching a TV show that I didn't even know he had ever seen, and he knows half of the theme song.

He has been into music actually for a while, but more playing the drums. In these videos he shows just how much he loves to pretend to play instruments. He loves the drums most of all. You do catch a glimpse of him playing a fake guitar (pens are the props throughout, so he is strumming a pen while mommy does the drums). Not captured on camera is the occasional wind/ brass instrument. I don't know which it is, because he doesn't know the name of the instrument to tell me. But since a pen is used, it looks like a clarinet. (EDIT: you actually don't see him strumming the "guitar," but you see Jen, and she does it the way he does it).

And finally we got him to actually sing. He did great until I started to help him. I think being helped/ corrected makes him shy. The same shyness showed up on his birthday. It really isn't that he hates us singing, I think he doesn't like it when he feels left out because he doesn't know the words and it is new.

Have fun.
