Lawrence Welk

Elias has ALWAYS loved the Lawrence Welk show. If you don't know what that is, it is a kind of variety music show from the 70's that reruns on PBS on Saturday nights. A couple of weeks ago Elias had his drumsticks handy during the closing song. I love that he, at one point, does this funny criss-cross thing with the sticks. And then he does lunges at another point.
Elias began drumming at about 8 months old. Everything that could be a drumstick (tongue depressors at the doctor, french fries, pencils, etc) was! Our drummer friend, Ben, gave Elias his first set of real drumsticks the summer before he turned 2. I think we got him his drumset that next Christmas. And he has pretty much been keeping a beat ever since!
