Alex, of his own volition, started playing air guitar and air drums during the August youth service, imitating us "big kids" who were playing up front. :)
For last Sunday's service, we gave him a part. With a little prompting, he was able to lead us in the peace.
After we were done rehearsing Saturday, BJ let him noodle around on the trap set. He was in seventh heaven, and apparently told everyone he talked to afterwards "I played the drums!"
Sunday morning, every time BJ got up to play something else - the conga drum, the guitar - Alex was making a beeline for the drum kit! He was hilarious and ingenious, trying every which way to run around or through us to get to the big drums, putting shaky eggs or an Alex-sized conga in his hands only deterred him temporarily.
I think I know what he's getting for Christmas. . . :)
