My Little Rock 'N' Roll Queen
No... not The Subways song... but my awesome kid! Last night Heather was making dinner and came and got me and told me to go look what Brooke was doing. I found her in the kitchen floor with a makeshift drumset assembled out of lids, bowls, skillets, pots, and pans and a number 2 pencil as the drumstick. The story goes . . .
Heather found her using the pencil banging on a candle in a jar. Heather was afraid she would break the candle jar, so she pointed Brooke to the kitchen and got out a couple of things for her to bang on. Apparently she didn't like whatever Heather gave her, so she started digging around in the cabinet and assembled her set!
After she played drums for a bit she dug around in the cabinet and found two lids and played them like cymbals... honestly, I didn't show her or give her any ideas. She just kinda figured it out.
Of course I encouraged her like crazy and told her how awesome it sounded. Then this morning, she got up before I left and grabbed her drum pieces and pencil and wanted to play some more. I'm ready to get her a DW set now.
I posted some pictures on my flickr site.

You know I have always loved drummers! Brooke takes after her dad. She is so precious--and smart. I love the picture by the organ. Hope you start her on a piano. Love you three.
