James's instruments

I have mentioned before that James is very muscial. He loves and knows all the instruments. For a long time, his favorite thing to do was to bring out all his instruments and put them on the table. We would then listen to band CD and he would play and march along. At that time, his favorite instrument was the drum and I made some symbals by covering some paper plates with foil. Good times.

Then he asked for us to make in a tuba and a trombone. That is a little more difficult. However, it was James himself who was inspired when he saw my boppy. That is right, my breastfeeding pillow is a GREAT tuba.

And then he came up with a violin: a paper towel roll and a pink shaker car. Where does he come up with this stuff?

SB loves instruments as well. Faves right now are the recorder and harmonica.
She also loves the Tuba. She points it out every time we watch Veggie Tales, "Look Mommy! A TUBA!"

I love this post! He is so cute. Oh, and you know he is going to play the flute, not something big and bulky like the tuba!
