Little Drummer Boy

If we haven't told you this before, our child is OBSESSED with music of any kind. He "sings" along to his videos and songs in the car. He bangs on everything to see what it sounds like (especially our stainless garbage can....what a racket). So, when we went to Birmingham for nephew Henry's baptism, Hampton fell in love with Jack's drum set. LOVE. Of course, being the sucker parents that we are, we discuss trying to find one on the way home.

Well, it just so happened that it went on a big sale the very next week at Target! So, we scooped one up, and Hampton has been banging away ever since. Not only is it a drum, it also came with a tambourine, a clapper thingy, a bell-covered ant, and 2 shaky eggs. So, now Hampton is his own one-man-band! He has tried using several different things to bang on the drum, and he uses the drumsticks to bang on everything in the house (we're working on avoiding glass and people). There is one thing we didn't foresee, though......that Hamp would try to stand on top of it. That's one use we don't think the manufacturer intended!

Who knew that bowling pins would make excellent drum sticks?
