Brendan has started getting very excited about music. Forever behind, I have to at least share a few recent music videos:
1. The first song is about a couple of people who Brendan knows. He started singing it while we were at our favorite Mexican place. Originally, it came with a jazzy dance which seemed somewhat lacking when I asked for an encore performance:
2. This second song he made up on the way home from school when he was telling Mommy what he would like for dinner:
3. Then there was the Earth Day Party. I knew they were planting in the garden, but what I didn’t know was that there would be a special performance. In recent history, my son chose these moments to display his enthusiastic interpretations. In other words, he got silly – bordering on disrespectful. We had some talks about it, but I haven’t talked about it in a long time. As they got up to sing, I braced myself. And here is what my son did:
I am SO PROUD OF HIM!!! We gave each other the biggest hug after the show and told him what an amazing job he did. He said, “Mom, I was really trying to take it seriously.” I told him that I could really tell – and that I was also glad he was still having fun! I asked him, “Who reminded you to take it seriously?” He said, “Nobody, I just told myself.”
I would add more little memory nuggets here, but Brendan is giving out great hugs tonight, and I can hear Daddy getting some. I don’t want to miss out.
Happy Earth Day!!!
Music! MUSIC! Music!
Like the songs!
Love the singer!
Keep singing, Brendan!
