This morning, Taiger told me, "Mommy! I had a dream about Africa! We went to Africa...and I didn't have to have my shots!"
Poor little guy wants to go to Africa SO BADLY!...takes after his Mommy in that area for sure!
The other day, an ad came on for a show on TV about Africa and Taiger asked (with resentment, I might add), "Did THEY have to have THEIR shots?" Breaks my heart...I know how he feels...because it is how I feel, too.
We went and picked up Taiger's violin today! His first violin...how exciting! It is so little and cute!!!!! :D (Don't worry...I took some pictures that I will post later...when it is not 3:30 in the morning and I am not totally tired!) I really, REALLY hope he likes violin lessons! I don't want to have a battle, but I think it is important for him to at least TRY it...if anyone has suggestions in this area, I would love to hear them! :D I know "kids and lessons" can be such a touchy topic! However, I really would like to hear anyone's input! (And for all you "jock" types, I am sure he will take karate, or Kung Fu, or football at some point, too!)

My 5-year-old takes drum lessons. He knows he has to practice, but we do it together, and only for about 15 minutes per day. His lesson is only 1/2 an hour once per week. He's been in lessons for about 3 months now. He still loves it! I think if you don't put to much pressure on him he'll probably really like it.
Good Luck!

Nope, I don't take drumming with him. I just am with him when he does the lesson. I actually played the violin all the way through college. It got so competitive and I got so burnt out that after I was done with college, I put it away. I play it at Christmas, occasionally. When my son said he wanted to play the drums, I kind of ignored him, but he persisted and people kept telling us ow much rhythm he had. So, after a year of begging, I have in. He is by far the littlest child that his instructor teaches. But, he does well, so we'll keep going. I read music, so that helped me to understand what was going on, but I still had to learn to read notes for percussion. It helped to have that musical background, if you don't, then I think you should take the lessons right along with him. That would be an awesome bonding experience anyway.

Sorry, it's early on Saturday, and that comment was riddled with typos!
