Tikuitar

Siah is a music fanatic…in fact, I would go so far to say that he is obsessed with music.

Songs, Instruments, Videos, the Radio, Singing, anything that carries a tune is worthy of life grinding to a halt so that we can take a moment to groove and enjoy the music.

He’s recently become fixated on guitars…any guitar will do and if there is no guitar around, he will pick up the nearest toy and strum on it. So far, we’ve used a nerf dart gun and a lego base and a few random boxes as impromptu guitars. edited to add that the newest addition to our imaginary guitars is an iTouch.

He’s been trying desperately hard get into my guitar and has managed to drag the whole case out into the living room from our bedroom. He is a determined little one, yes he is.

I decided to pull my guitar out the other day to put him out of his misery try and alleviate the pressure of the fixation and well, I was completely unprepared for the depth of emotion that came when I said that our time for the day was done.

Here he is our little tikuitar player…….

After this little clip, we played a bit more and then I handed my guitar to Jon to put away for me and Siah LOST IT. The little dude absolutely FREAKED OUT. He started chasing after Jon and pulling on his leg to try and get at the guitar. Jon tried to get away from him and he chased him around the chair that I was sitting in and well….it was brutal……and OH SO FUNNY at the same time.

Here is just a glimpse of the fury that he unleashed on us that day.

It was truly amazing and went on FOREVER. Literally he had a full on temper tantrum, throw yourself on the floor, get up to try and pound at the offending door that separates you from your beloved tikuitar….for over half an hour this all went on.

Even a cuddle from Daddy wasn’t enough to calm him down.

I’m seeing a lot of music lessons in our future with this one….
