Mother's Day Gifts

 Today, for Mother's Day, Fable gave me her first ever two hour nap:

 

Sleeping Beauty

And Archer gave me the bad-assest drum solo in the history of drum solos:

 

 

 I feel like the luckiest lady in all the land

Archer = Amazing.

I read and read and watch videos and witness, but his knack for music is astounding. Can I just tell you how impressed I am?

Congrats on the nap, Fable is an angel.

Bah! We love Mother's Day!

I'm pretty sure Archer is a musical genius...

I kind of think so, too. But I'm his mom so maybe that's par for the course. Looking into music-oriented charters and summer programs not only for his singing but also for his instrumental ability. This was his first time playing drums and he pretty much nailed it.

cute on both ends! The drums are so much fun for them at this age with the loud noise. let's start a preschooler band, hee!

Archer is very talented. I remember that video of him humming the tune of Carmen. He was pitch perfect.
