Little Drummer Boy

Like father, like son: Knox has recently taken up the drums. As if he needed any more encouragement, we gave him a stainless steel bowl and a wooden spoon this weekend and he delightedly beat away. I've only got one wooden spoon, so...if you're looking for 1st Birthday gift ideas...

He also gets to play Daddy's big-boy drums once in awhile. He plays each one with purpose, leaning forward to reach all the cymbals. He gets a little wild with the drumsticks (Daddy should probably be wearing safety glasses, if not a full face mask), but a bit of practice will change that.

He's a bit of an animal behind the kit.

It became quite apparent that we've created a monster when we realized that he crawls down the hallway, opens the door to the drum room and immediately grabs the drumsticks. Ladies and Gentlemen: we've got ourselves a KnoxStar!
