Bluegrass boogie

Colby kicked off the eve of his 23rd month in a big way. We took him to the town square for a blue grass concert, and he really put on a show. Imagine the same dance he did for the Wiggles, only in front of 100 people for about 30 minutes.

We arrived a little late, so we pulled up a blanket towards the front of the crowd and sat down.

This is a view of a small section of the crowd that the band took and later e-mailed us.


Colby walked right up to the edge of the stage and didn't hesitate to jump right in. He was playing his guitar, bouncing, swaying, marching, and tapping his foot (something he picked up from watching the band). Lee and I were laughing so hard we both had tears in our eyes.



At one point, the band brought him up on stage and asked him his name. (Thank goodness he didn't answer, because right now he pronounces his name "Poopie". We're working on that.) Lee yelled out his name and they showered him with attention before taking pictures with him.

As silly as it sounds, we were so proud of him. So little, yet so fearless. We had lots of people pull us aside to say something about him, and most were just amazed by how into the music he was. Unfortunately, I only had my small camera with me so I did my best to take a video. It's not very good quality, but here it is.



Oh, and happy 23 months, Colby!
