my little musician

Lilo came up with this on his own. He called it his vila-in (violin). He is a hoot. A few weeks ago I was flipping through the channels on tv and I stopped at channel thirteen (PBS) and he sat and watched the NY Philharmonic with me. He sat completely still for over 10 minutes. He kept saying, "what's that mama?" each time the screen switched to a musician with a different instrument. He loved it. He is also somewhat of a singer. He sits next to me at church (when he's not running up to the stand to find papa) with a hymnbook open and sing his little heart out. Mostly he just sings "Jesa Kist" (Jesus Christ) over and over again. This little boy sure makes me happy.

p.s. This afternoon Lilo was using that stick (the one he used as a bow for his vila-in) as a baseball bat- except he was calling it a "ball sword." Why does everything have to be turned into a weapon around here?
