Continual Amazement

Yeah, I know. Parents always go on and on about how their kid says stuff that amazes them. Well, here's mine for today.

We were at a party in a house that had a piano. Alex was at the piano playing the highest scale. As he went up he said, "Now the sun is rising." Then when he got to the top note, just before he went down the scale, he said, "Now the sun is going down," and down the scale he played. I asked him if his music teacher did that or if he made it up, and he said he just made it up. I think that's so cool, the way he's taking the music and matching it to a corresponding event of something going up and down. This is a new one for him. Before, he used to call the high notes "young" or "new" and the low notes were "old." Pretty cool the way they think before they're told how things are "supposed" to be.

Was going through old video files and posted this one, this one and this one to YouTube. Oh and this one too. We used to do that in the car all the time, repeating back and forth. I'd change the pitch and the words and he'd keep up with me. These videos are all 30 seconds or less.

He's amazed me from the start.
