Your baby will love to cheer you on as you learn a new instrument. Probably. — Photo: Giu Vicente
Do you play guitar, harmonica, or the plastic comb? If you’ve got ‘em, shake your maracas.
If you want to learn a new instrument, your baby is a good audience. RookieDad Alec decided to get a little more serious about playing guitar once Holden was born. He started taking weekly lessons and would frequently practice his new drills in front of our captive child.
It turns out that Alec is either a superstar or Holden doesn’t care if he’s just tuning the guitar. “Geee-tar” was one of Holden’s first words… followed closely by “pick pick pick”.
You totally deserve to find a hobby or passion that will make your heart sing. Another way to take this advice is to buy a heap of baby-friendly instruments and start a family band.
Great idea! My son is already fascinated by instruments.
