Occasional Happy Happenstances

[snaples]

Have you ever seen a two year old playing air violin?  I did.  In the car, during a long ride home.  When a segment of a popular French-Canadian song came on where violins were playing, my own son closed his eyes, scrunched up his tiny features with a look of mock focus and began to strum a violin with his fingers.  He's 2.  And he plays air violin.  And I have no idea where he took it from.  But I can say that at that point, I totally fell in love again with my son.

I love these unexpected moments of shock and pure delight.

I haven't seen any kids doing that, but I play air violin. Of course, I used to play violin myself, so...

I am so buying him a toy violin. It took everything in my husband to prevent me from buying a real one. "Just wait one more year, k?"

Oh do it! I wish I'd kept up with the violin...

Get that boy a violin, stat.

I teach violin to small children, and while not a parent, I can understand the absolute delight in watching them "at play".

Oh I know. I mean, I know it's my son and that pretty much everything he does evokes an 'aw' moment (even spewing milk from his nose). But that one definitely made me think of lessons.
