Trumpeting

After our corn adventure we had some LOUD fun, thanks to our friend Mo Willems and Grammy. Colin and Gillian are IN LOVE with the Piggie and Elephant books. Once Colin found out that Daddy had long-ago played the trumpet like Piggie in "Listen to My Trumpet" he had to have a go at it. Grammy was happy to supply Daddy's old trumpet for our pleasure!

Daddy played a little for us, and, amazingly, he could remember several songs and didn't sound half bad....for someone who hadn't played in 15 years. Really.

Then Colin took his turn.

And he was GREAT! He could get those little lips to buzz and he got a lot of sound of that trumpet for a little guy! And he loved it!

He can speak a mean elephant dialect.

(We did give G a chance to try but she couldn't quite get it and was frustrated and walked away. Eventually she did get a SQUAWK out of it!)

Love it! This makes me want to dig out my old trumpet from my high school days and try it out again. That's great that C was able to get sounds out of it. Maybe G is more of a woodwind girl (I could never get sounds out of a woodwind, but I was fine with the trumpet) :-)
