Mister M Got a Guitar

Yesterday will go down in Marek's history as a very important day - the day he got his first guitar. I don't mean one of those plastic Fisher-Price guitars that you push buttons and Elmo sings rock. I mean a real (albeit smaller) acoustic guitar. We've been making a few trips lately to one of the local music stories downtown. He usually wanders the aisles strumming their guitars, banjos, and ukeleles. Or playing notes on the uber-expensive pianos. (It's a bit nervewracking having your 3-year-old play piano on a piano worth $7,000). For months he has been asking for a guitar. He occassionally drops coins into his piggybank with the declaration that he's saving for a guitar. And yesterday, the dream came true! All afternoon he played guitar. When I came home from work I was greeted with an excited little boy ready to perform a show for me. I'll be adding some video here soon. He really has a taste for music and I'm going to look into Suzuki lessons too. It's really a great feeling to watch him grow and see where his particular natural interests and talents lie.
