Drummer Boys

During the Christmas Season, I would occasionally sing the carol to David about the Little Drummer Boy. He fell in love with that one particularly. It became his most requested carol for the season--at naptime, especially. On Christmas morning, David was more than thrilled to find his very own drum under the tree.

Priceless.

This one is with Sam smiling too--maybe because David is the third generation of males in our family to take up drumming.

David was so excited to bang on that drum that he hit the drumstick right out of Daddy's hand! (Can you see it in mid-air?)

So here is our in-house drum corps. Sam has resurrected his old drumsticks, and the two make a great pair of percussionists. The animal puppets on Daddy's knee were placed there strategically by David. I tried to move them before I took the picture, but David insisted that his audience stay close.

Merry Christmas, Little Drummer Boy. We love you.
