Stomp!
Knowing Henry's love of drumming, Dave's parents got him the Stomp! dvd for Christmas. At first he didn't want to watch it, but then he figured out exactly what Stomp! was and now it's on heavy rotation.
There are two reasons in particular why I love this dvd. The first is, Henry has always been creative when it comes to building drumsets. He like pots and pans, but he's never stopped there, and a lot of the varied things he uses they use in the show as well. The second is he's been completely inspired by some of the things they do to make sounds. A couple of weekends ago we were at the local hardware store. While Dave was looking for some kind of plumbing something, Henry and I found the toilet plungers. We wandered up and down the aisle sticking them to the floor and pulling them off. Guess what he wants for his birthday? Sometimes it's so easy to please my kid.
Stomp! is coming to a local theater. We're thinking we have a responsibility to take him.

Maybe bring some ear plugs too? I found loud noises hard to take when I was a kid. Maybe he's different.

Sound advice. *guffaw* Loud noises sometimes completely freak him out. He tried to crawl under the carpet on Monday at pre-school when everyone clapped during a song about an alligator.
