Early Morning Serenade

(Note: I couldn't get the video to upload in portrait, as it is saved, so a landscape serenade it will have to be.)

Joshy is constantly making up songs on John's guitar. I happened to have camera in hand when he started in with this one about the sun going down. Of course, once he realized he was getting attention the songs got louder and longer and contained fewer and fewer actual words and we then quickly progressed down the 5 Stages of Parent Engagement.

Stage 1 - Did you hear that? Everybody listen. My child is a prodigy.

Stage 2 - Encouragement, applause, requests for encores.

Stage 3 - Encouragement from other room, applause, requests to use inside singing voice.

Stage 4 - Aren't you hungry for breakfast?

Stage 5 - Hide the guitar...hide the guitar...
