We're starting a band! - Amy Davidson

I’d be lying if I said I did not enjoy playing Lennox’s drums or guitar! Sometimes I find myself sitting on the floor, excited to play, follow the beat- one of the challenges on his drum set! LOL! It’s like Simon says. It’s pretty amazing how quickly Lennox picked up playing drums. Or, banging them!!! For months now, my husband and I thought he might be a composer because he loves anything that resembles a pointer or a stick and he just whips it around in the air. It’s fun to imagine what Lennox will do for a career when he gets older. Maybe he will be a drummer? Or play the guitar? Or who knows, perhaps he will be a composer?! Or maybe he will be a doctor! LOL! Whatever he decides to do with his life, we support it 100%. Meanwhile, I’m going to sit on the floor with my son as much as possible and jam out! Even though I am home with him most days, I know it’s incredibly important to actually get on the floor with him and play even more. I still have that guilty conscience about not doing enough and it’s still driving me crazy. Do you do the same thing? Does anyone have advice on how to deal with this mom guilt? Dammit, some days it really sucks. I have to remember that I don’t have to occupy Lennox at all times, and that the times we do play and laugh during the day are enough. I am enough, and our playtime is enough. I will strive for more but be OK with what I am giving. Geez, mommin’ ain’t no joke. Love you all!
