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 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...
