A boy and his music

J loves music! It always amazes me to watch him so enthralled. Even when I was pregnant with him, when I would sing or there was music on, the boy would go crazy! Whenever there is music he loves to shake his groove thing! He sort of freaks out, waving his arms, looking like he is trying to fly away. We often get comments in church about how he looks like he is "directing the music". It's pretty hysterical, especially since this is not something we have taught him. He just can't hold still when music is on.

A few weeks ago we were at a shin-dig with a bunch of our friends. J's "Uncle Chris Whitty" started playing the guitar, and the boy was mesmerized! He was a restless earlier, being tired and wanting to go home. But as soon as Whitty-the-kitty started playing the guitar, J was silent and content. It was so cute! I'm so glad I got to snap a quick picture---it's with my camera phone, but none the less it's a sweet picture.

Chris Whittaker is one of Chris' best friends. I'm always baffled at what an effect that guy has on all these wild children we have on this island. He always pretends like he is scared or grossed out by them (ha!), but then every once in a while something like this happens, and we all realize he is actually quite the softy--- they have him wrapped around their finger.

  2. Truth. Our children OWN Chris Whittaker's heart and soul.
