Listening To Drums

By Vladimir Morozov

My ds just took up playing the drums and a lot of people have asked me how I let that happen.  One of my friends actually questioned my sanity. Another mom at the park having over heard this exchange told me I was a better mom than her. 

The funny thing is that I actually love to listen to him practice.  His first instrument was the trumpet, which is loud and sounded like a goose screaming.  Can you imagine listening to that three or more times a week? After the trumpet almost any instrument would be better…

Part of my enjoyment is the joy he has playing. I listen to him tap out rhythms, “one and two and three and four and”…. on everything and I smile. It is beautiful thing watching someone you love find his or her instrument. 

Now if I could only get him to practice more!
