Video Time:
Connor's Mandolin Song Video
Connor at a few days old playing Piano w/ Mommy
Up above there are two videos. The first one is Becca playing Mandolin, which she picked up and for the first time playing it can play songs. Musical. Genius.
The second is Connor when he was about one week old and Becca's playing piano with him. One of my favorite videos for sure.
Becca and I are toying with the idea of trying to turn him into a musical prodigy. I've been reading a lot about the current trend/idea that genius is largely made through practice and dedication. If Connor shows a natural interest in music then we might try to foster that at a young age. Becca truly does have some natural gifts that she hopefully imparted. If this little squirt can couple that musicality with my physical abilities we might be onto something. It's just something we've been thinking about... time will tell!
Maybe our little Wolfie will become a little Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!

Today we are continuing Becca's b-day from Wed by going kayaking w/ her brothers. It will be Connor's first time kayaking. What an outdoorsy week he's having--first big hike and first big kayak trip. I'm super excited to get him out on some live water (as opposed to the pool) this afternoon!
Last night we played some more Catan at Sarah and Josh's house. Becca attempted to play the robber several times to steal my cards. But do I even have to say it? Her plan was thwarted, and once again the people of Catan rejoiced as I settled the land. They already know who the truest settler is and his name is Michael Rice. I will one day impart my settling secrets to Connor, prince of Catan.
How nerdy have I actually become? Always going on and on about the land of Catan.
