Coronavirus School of Rock! (Nobody said it was easy)

Singing Here, There and Everywhere

Aidan,

You've always had such a sweet song in your heart. You've never been shy about singing that song.

But lately, you've really come into your own when it comes to singing.

I remember when we caught you "singing" Let it Be last summer.

Well, you still love to sing "Letter B," and have a much better grasp of rocking out!

In the tub...

Or on the road (it's a bit hard to hear, but listen closely):

But, of course, you have other songs in your repertoire too:

There's Old McDonald:

And Twinkle Twinkle too:

A lead singer, for sure. But it seems like you may be destined for a little lead guitar too!

But, you do really love to drum, play piano and bass too...

Your dancing is superb as well:

Like I said: you have a song in your heart. I hope you continue to sing that song and ROCK ON forever!

Missing Footage

Recently some lost footage of you was found, Aidan. And by lost I mean we never talked about it. But it's too good not to share.

Over the summer, you really started living a rock and roll lifestyle:

The trend of rocking out continued in public over Thanksgiving. We went to the new deck park with Aunt Rebekka, and you got a private concert from a Piano Man. You danced, you spun, you clapped...and you did it all seriously. Here's a snippet of a seated and eated rockin' and rollin':

You also know how to rock and roll in private WITH clothes on.

You also can rock out with your own original covers. You should make a record.

And just like a record, baby, you also got to spin right round, round round.  At a trip to the zoo with Pops, you experienced your first Carousel ride!

It's not often you get to see pure wonder on someone's face. But this was it. You really, really loved the carousel.

Speaking of spinning, on the same trip to the zoo, you also got to experience centrifugal gravity. Or whatever it's called at those museums where you drain your parents of all their loose change in that black hole vortex thing. Whatever you call it, you got a kick out of it, and Pops was your enabler.

But life isn't all fun and games. Sometimes it's donuts!

And sometimes it's being a daredevil:

And sometimes it's chasing your dreams (or a bug):

You have to march to the beat of your own drummer, though, especially if you're a rock star. Maybe not if you're the drummer...but otherwise, you can be independent as a drummer. Or something. I don't really know what I'm saying, but look: here's a video of you playing it safe in Mimi and Pops' backyard.

See? The videos were great! And sometimes great footage just falls through the cracks. But that's why I'm here: to shoehorn it all into one random post that basically just tells you what you already know: Your mother and I think you're amazing and hilarious and a star. We love you.
