So This is New

As we were shopping for a birthday gift on Thursday, Cooper rounded a corner at Target, and nearly jumped out of his skin.

He spotted the guitar. It's the one he's been dreaming of his *whole life*. The one he's always wanted. The perfect one.

What?

I had no idea that Cooper had any notion of playing the guitar. This is the kid who refuses to sing along at church, at school, with his brother, in the car, in the shower, etc., etc. And he wants a gui-tar.

After more than 24 hours of deep pondering (and panic that Target would suddenly sell out their entire stock of guitars), the boy gathered his $33 from Christmas, birthdays, and the tooth fairy and set out to make his big purchase.

So, now we have a guitar player.

And an accompanist.

Who wants to buy a piano.
