Well, the other day Elliot was looking at some pictures on the wall at Magah's house. He saw one of my senior pictures (yeah from a million years ago) and said "it's mommy and her stick". So we told him, "no, that's a flute.....mommy plays the flute". And then we went down the list of other family members and the instruments they play. He was really interested and, as I found out today, really payed attention......for the most part. So we had a little chat when he was looking at the same picture today. Here's the conversation....
Elliot: Look there's Mommy! Mommy plays the flute!
Mommy: That's right Elliot! Good job! What instrument does Daddy play?
Elliot: Daddy plays the clarinet!
Mommy: Yes he does! What about Uncle Brent?
*long pause*
Mommy: Does Brent play the piano?
Elliot: Yes! Brent plays the piano!!
Mommy: What about Papa?
Elliot: Papa plays the trumpet!
Mommy: Yes he does! What about Aunt Ashley?
Elliot: *thinking*.....ummmmmmmm...........Ashley plays the Jonas Brothers!!
After a minute or two of laughing we were able to tell him that yes, Ashley listens to the Jonas Brothers a LOT, but she also plays the violin. You sure can't tell me he doesn't pay attention!

That is hilarious! I don't get the Jonas Brothers thing at all. Maybe it's a good thing though. Probably because I'm not 14. Olivia wants to play the "pink violin" like her aunt.
