Rocking Out

Carter's attention span is ridiculous - he can't sit still long enough for a tv show - barely even a book - but he stands mesmerized for 30 minutes straight to watch a band play.  My budding musical genius!  

Today, we met up with Aunts Paige, Maryl, Rosie and Jessica, Uncles Steve and Ryan, and Cousin Garrett for a little lunch a Duck and Decanter.  Honestly, I was a little unsure of the location choice.  Knowing full well that the place is FULL of breakables didn't sound great to me... kinda like a bull in a china shop, you know?  But, for the sake of seeing the family, I packed him a lunch (like I'm going to pay $9 for him to eat a sandwich that he will just take apart), and we made our way to the restaurant.  Of course, we were super early - and luckily just in time to catch the last 30 minutes of a live band.  Carter was in Heaven!  He stood just off to the side of their "stage" area, dancing and cheering for them.  After the set was over, he brought over his own tiny guitar to show off to the guys.  The band members humored him and let him play their guitars and mandolin.  One of them even hung out with Carter for awhile, tuning his toy guitar (thank Goodness!), giving him his first guitar pick, and playing a private concert for him.  Our little rockstar was thrilled with all of the attention, and has been strumming away at his guitar ever since!  Pictures to be posted soon...
