the reason behind...

Brandon selecting drums in ensemble....

yes, what you see is a REAL drum set, for my 8 year old. oh.my.goodness. they are from :::drumroll please::: Ryan's boss, yes his boss. Brandon loves him now, myself, not so much.

It all started at the company Christmas party. I was chatting with the boss' wife. She was telling me about all the instruments their girls have wanted, received and abandoned. I told her B1 had taken piano lessons but now he wants drums. And that was it. or so I thought.
Several weeks ago boss-man brought the guys their Christmas gift, new coats and had a little loud something for Ryan out in the pickup.
Brandon was/is ecstatic. I didn't even have to mention that he needed to write a thank you. He immediately told me and he did that very weekend to put in the mail Monday. It was a proud parent moment.
As of today, they are still at the office and I plan on them being there for a very.long.time. The wife of one of the guys at the office is a percussionist so she taught him a few beats. I have a feeling the guys at the office, as well as my husband, will put a muzzle on me the next time I'm around the boss and his wife.
