Little Drummer Boy

Even with the fabulous, colorful toys that come with all the bells and whistles, Christopher is maintaining a children's tradition and playing with stuff that isn't sold at Babies R' Us. Everyone knows that when kids open gifts, the best part is often the box that the gift comes in. The same idea holds true for everyday kitchen items as well. There is nothing like busting out a rhythm on a metal colander with a wooden spoon, as Chris is attempting to do in this picture. This does take a bit of advanced hand-eye coordination which led to some frustration on little man's part. But it doesn't phase him too much and he just then tries to eat the wooden spoon rather than drum with it! I've also been trying to teach Christopher to roll a ball and while he sometimes accidentally does it, he isn't quite sure how to purposely make it happen. He does pick up the ball equally with the left hand and the right hand. Time will tell which hand he is actually going to throw with! Here he is eating the "drumstick" and playing with the ball...
