Brag about your kids here!

Post by Weetabix »

Blackeagle posted a link to his daughter's singing in another thread (Manacles of Satan). That got me thinking that it would be nice to hear people brag about their kids a bit.

I'll start: My daughter is the principal second violin in the MSU orchestra. The other night, they performed with Kansas. You know, the Dust In The Wind guys. They did Dust In The Wind, Carry On My Wayward Son. Kansas brought their own conductor for the symphony. One practice with my daughter's orchestra, then the performance. She said it was great, and she said she knows she's hooked on performing now.

Here's her orchestra performing Wagner (I think she's the second one left of the conductor :D ).

Tell us about your kids.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Not too much to report yet. Zoe just recently hit the 10 month mark. She's crawling, standing, and not yet walking. She's got a working vocabulary of about 20 signs, and about 10 actual words.

So far, she lacks the fine motor skills to field strip any of the weapons in the house... yet.

Very cool Weeta... Love listening to Wagner. He was a pretty cool guy -- if you don't mind the hate speech. ;)

None have claimed I'm there Daddy, still waiting on my youth to come back on me so I'm going with no kids to brag about. :lol:

Ralph.
HTRN, I would tell you that you are an evil fucker, but you probably get that a lot ~ Netpackrat

Ralph.
Think, how old is NPR's boy now? Perhaps he should have named him Chuck. :shock:

I have four children.
They are the best.

I don't feel the need to bore you with details, just take my word for it.
The Best.
