Beat Boxing Animal

For the last few weeks my little man has been beat boxing. I’m not sure what started it but he does it all the time these days. Maybe it’s because I’ve been listening to my friends in Eclipse lately. Maybe it’s because we watched a few episodes of the Sing Off (Is Pentatonix not completely, awesomely awesome? I never saw their first performance but I’ve been rooting for them since “Video Killed the Radio Star” so though I missed the finale I’m glad to hear they won.). Maybe he’s just transferring his love of car, truck, and train sound effects to everyday life. Whatever the reason it makes me smile every time. He does it everywhere we go and made everyone laugh at our ward party when he portrayed the beat boxing cow, donkey, and sheep at various times throughout the nativity reenactment. We’re quite proud. I finally got him to do it for the camera the other day. When the camera’s out, though, he only obliges me with a couple of rounds as opposed to going on and on when he’s doing it on his own. Goofy Gus. I especially love the arm flailing that accompanies it and the smug mug he gives at the end. So now, for your viewing pleasure, here is my two-year-old beat boxing.
