Zeke and his love for drums

October 4th, 2008

It surprises me how much Zeke loves to drum on things. He will drum for as long as we let him when we visit Grandma’s house. We even keep two wooden spoons in the car for him to drum on the back of the seat to the music while we’re driving. He makes sound effects like, “do do BAH!” and he air drums with his hands even when he doesn’t have any sticks. It’s really fun since Jimmy is a drummer, Zeke likes to watch his daddy drum, and he looks at him like “Wow, you’re cool, Dad!”

We missed you tonight Daddy, but we’re happy you are able to go to each Priesthood Conference and learn great things. Zeke and I had lots of fun, Zeke got all of the pans out of the drawer, and set them up on his own, and asked for the “ticks”.

Zeke carried all of the pans and put them back in the drawer, then got them all right back out and set them up to drum on again.

Look how strong! The biggest pan with one hand!

After lots of drumming, Zeke thought of a new game – jumping off the big pan.

Big fall, but he still wanted to do some more…

Zeke, you’re the best!

    Very cute. He and Aiden would get along GREAT! He seems to be able to entertain himself pretty well.

    Wouldn’t it be cool if he became a super famous drummer someday and they did a documentary on him, and how old he was when he started drumming and you could pull these pictures out and be like, “Oh yeah, Zeke has been since he was in diapers” :)

    Wow You are such a great mom! I think I would have gone crazy with all the NOISE! He sure is a cutie though!

  6. So, so cute! I love that he got out all the pans and then put them back again (even though he got them out again). It’s so fun to watch them figure things out and help themselves :D

    What a cutie! If he continues to have an interest in drums it may be good to know that they now have ones you can plug head phones into! Aunt Patti was so patient to have her many boys be drum players:)
