Gotta hand it to our barely 3-year old Noel. Not only is he practicing his power chords (see this post about cutting his hands doing so), he’s also taken up the drums. I don’t normally get all “proud parent” on the web, but I was pretty happy with this picture, which I took earlier today while he was “practicing”:

Obviously his feet can’t reach the pedals, but he can click his drumsticks “one-two-three-four” in best Rick Buckler tradition. And his snare rolls aren’t bad either.

It was a big week for him: Friday we got him on skis for the first time, at Hunter – where he gets in for free during the week. He loved it. That’s his big brother in the background, getting his snowboard on; Campbell is as proud of Noel’s achievements as his parents are of both of them.
