One day Jonah was asking to play on the guitar. Jonathan has one that he rarely plays and Jonah thinks it is great. Well, one day when I was on my own with the kids he wanted to play the guitar. I didn't have the ability to supervise him so I suggested we MAKE a guitar. He thought it sounded exciting.
We created this:
Nice, huh. I was proud of our 15 minute effort. Jonah liked it!
(it looked a little nicer the first day)
Well, then, my amazing husband had another idea.
Did I mention the word AMAZING?!
it's solid wood.
I came up with the strap for this one...other than that, this is completely an original Jonathan Atkins creation. He sketched it free-hand & everything.
While the boys were working on the guitar I was trying to get myself ready to go somewhere. Elizabeth was screaming, so I took her outside (to give myself a break). When I came back out Jonah was singing to her!!!
When I came back home later the guitar was finished and Jonah was giving a concert.
Oh, Amy, this is precious! And I do think Jonathan may have a future in guitar making. Even kids' guitars!!! Seriously--how cute is that guitar?
ReplyDeleteJonah even has the cool-dude-guitar-player look down pat!
