The Jesus Song

Our 3 year old Zander (known on alternate days as either The Holy Terror or The Great Joy) loves music. He sings and dances and attempts to play the piano. Like pretty much everything he does, his singing is always at the top of his lungs. His favorite songs have included Eye of the Tiger, Sweet Caroline and Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. His grandpa is very talented musically, so he must have received some of the genes. It's one of Zanders most endearing qualities, and it is one I should remember when he is pounding on his bedroom door screaming "Let me out!"

Anyway, on Sunday apparently he got tired of singing the same old songs and decided it was time to write his own. He hopped up on the piano bench and began playing (pounding). After a few chords he would scream out "Jesus!" and then start pounding on the piano again...followed by "Jesus!" and a few more beautiful notes...then, you guessed it, "Jesus!". This went on for about 5 minutes. We both laughed and tried to videotape his wonderful song, however as is characteristic, as soon as the camera was on...he didn't want to play along anymore.
