Air Guitar

We apparently have a future rocker on our hands or maybe just a music lover. One thing is for sure, mom is so last year for this little guy. I am already the uncool parent. Dave ADORES his daddy. Whenever I hold him and Grant is home the kid stares at him from across the room smiling from ear to ear. It doesn't matter if Grant is even paying attention to him. David seems to look in the distance in the hope that his Dad just MIGHT look his way. You can tell they already have such a special bond and I am so thankful for how nurturing Grant has been in the few short months we have had David with us. For those of you who follow this blog, you may know that Grant by nature is an attention seeker. He loves to dance around the house and will only stop once he has received my recognition that yes in fact I see his outrageous dance moves. Thus, having a child who is an indentured audience for Grant has been a nice reprieve from my duty to notice such oddities. David is blessed with a dad who does not fear weirdness or completely making a fool himself for the sake of a laugh. I am sure I bore this kid to tears with my boring diaper changes and lame version of entertainment. Tonight was especially fun for David because he got his own personal concert from Grant. It was HILARIOUS. I was literally crying from laughing so hard. Grant started with a little air guitar and belted out some Kansas. David LOVED it so much he grinned and stared mesmerized at his dad the entire time. As soon as that song was over, fussing ensued. It is so funny to see David already trying to communicate with us. He clearly was asking for more. As soon as Grant broke into some Led Zeppellin David was all smiles and completely still just staring with joy. It was awesome, but the bar of fun has certainly been set high for our kids. Sometimes I can see myself breaking into a terribly off key rendition of Kansas when Grant is at work just to get a laugh. Reminds me of that Friends episode where Rachel sings Baby Got Back to Emma because Ross made her laugh with his performance. It's amazing what we will do to get a laugh from our children!!!
